In ’05, 3 years after I started writing poetry, my first pamphlet, the Thirteen Fairy Negro Tales – published by mouthmark, a flipped eye publishing series that began with Nick Makoha’s The Lost Collection of an Invisible Man and will end with Warsan Shire’s teaching  mother how to give birth - came out.
