And when grouped together, The Daniels offer a clear retort to that well-intentioned if ill-informed statement: ‘A lot of people of color don’t know their family history.’ Ultimately, people of color do know their families, especially if we continue to find and share the writers who make us come alive.”

“I have known these compelling yet repellent men. Haven’t you?”
“yesterday was funny because you were in a terrible mood but everything was beautiful.”
“Writing poetry has trained my eye and ear to look and listen to my day with deep attention.”
“Each translation has its own personality- and should have.”
“I needed to know that others had endured what my family was going through, regardless of the outcome.”
“One thing I like about the Aliens series is the fact of its many, many, pregnant men.”
