Poet and cultural critic. I co-host the podcast VIBE CHECK. Also, I teach creative writing at Harvard Medical School.

BOOKS: Prelude to Bruise, How We Fight for Our Lives, Alive at the End of the World, The People’s Project.

The book I’m writing is titled HOME OUT THERE. It’s about black queer people leaving home to find home. I weave my own experiences with biographical chapters about three black queer poet ancestors: Langston Hughes, Pauli Murray and Audre Lorde.
WE WHO???????

Academics desperately wanted money from this guy.
Y’all, I’m losing my mind over here. I need everyone to read this article. I can’t go it alone!!!

“Epstein argues that teaching children to write may be harmful because writing forces “linear” and “narrow” patterns of thinking, whereas the greatest thinkers never wrote.”
“The interview also becomes an exercise in intellectual peacocking as they invoke Socrates, Isaac Newton and quantum physics but pay little attention to Epstein’s crimes. Epstein reveals himself to be a living museum of racial prejudice.”

At one point, Bannon asks Epstein “Do you think you’re the Devil himself?”

Epstein smirks and says “No, but I do have a good mirror.”

“It’s a serious question. Do you think you’re the Devil himself?”

“Why would you say that?”

“Became you have all the attributes.”
