"The nature of black joy.
Its texture. Its sparks
under any conditions.
Tongues inject
new meaning in old lexicons.
Words become delicious
full of running commentaries.
Delivery stone cold.
Black joy."
Read Center student Michèle Alexandre's recently published essay "Black Joy: Crossing Time and Space" at The Atticus Review.
Congratulations, Michèle!
