In Case of Emergency: Letter to My Nephew

Joshua Bennett- "In Case of Emergency: Letter To My Nephew"

“Forgive me. My heart is an endless elegy. My heart is the ash every house of God leaves behind.” Joshua Bennett, author of the poetry collection, The Sobbing School (Penguin Books, 2016), reads a poem for “Black Joy,” an event presented by AfroPunk and the Strivers Row in New York.
