Lucas Lecacheur just posted a few photos of his finished portrait. It was such a privilege to contribute a page to the legend of one of my favorite Paris artists.

I am touched to read this beautiful review of Loving Tallulah Bankhead written by Katharine Armbrester in the Southern Review of Books (@SouthRevBooks). That a fellow Alabama native found this work worth her time and attention is an absolute honor. southernreviewofbooks.com/20…

One of my favorite things about this book is that it represents a collaboration between two Alabama ex-pats. Today, I wanted to share my favorite illustration of the book, the drawing Lauren Patterson made to accompany "Lifeboat." I'm so honored to share these pages with her.

I don't quite know how to express my thanks to the beautiful Paris locals & to the very special Lauren Patterson of The Hague for coming out to celebrate the launch of Loving Tallulah Bankhead. But thank you, thank you so very much. So grateful for you, @ParisHeretics.

It's a great pleasure to release the third in our series of Heretics Interviews! We talked to @forkalina about her process, and the role of the poet. Then, in homage to her work, we cut up and rearranged her answers :). Enjoy! #ForkBurke #poetry #video youtube.com/watch?v=642tK487…

It's emotionally taxing to have my book(s) banned. But not because they're my books, but because all I can think about is the message it sends to the Black kids who see themselves in my books. They deserve to have their stories told whether it makes you comfortable or not.
