I'm actually a little early this time, everyone! I couldn't resist, I'm super excited for the next poet, and I know you'll forgive me for jumping the gun.





Major Jackson!

His work is so incredible. Full of personality, beauty, and life in the modern world. I fell in love when I read his first book of poetry, and I haven't looked back since.

Bio:

Major Jackson was born and raised in Philadelphia, where he pursued his degree in accounting at Temple University.

In the late 1990s, he joined the Dark Room Collective, an organization that gave greater visibility to emerging and established writers of color and included Thomas Sayers Ellis, John Keene, Janice Lowe, Carl Phillips, Tracy K. Smith, Sharan Strange, Natasha Trethewey, Artress Bethany White, and Kevin Young, among others.
