Launched during the fall of 2020 as a livestreamed series, Black Writers Read was created as a platform to showcase, celebrate, and honor the words, work and traditions of Black writers from across the country, across genres, across experiences and across the African Diaspora. The livestreamed series is now wrapping up Season Two. Beginning with Season Three, Black Writers Read will be presented as both a livestreamed series and audio podcast, first airing the livestreamed episode online. After the episode has aired, supporters will be able to listen to Black Writers Read from their preferred audio podcast platform.
Produced and hosted by performance poet, playwright, and events curator, Nicole M. Young-Martin, Black Writers Read presents a different author each episode who shares excerpts from their work and is then interviewed by Nicole about their work and how they seek to shift and influence the larger literary canon.
