I was teaching classes in June in Texas, so in many ways, my routine of reading, writing, blogging, and tweeting about African American poetry was somewhat altered and slowed at times. Still, looking back, I managed to get some work done that I can look back on and expand on later.
I wanted to do more writing about rap as well, but as you'll notice, I only produced one piece on Jay Electronica. Maybe more in July and August.
