A poem by Tiana Clark

After the Reading

someone  asked  me  if  my husband  left me,  or if I left him. After the   reading,  someone   asked   me   if   there   was  a   chance  for reconciliation  as  I shoved a  pulled  pork sandwich  in my mouth with  Carolina  Gold BBQ  sauce  oozing  out  the  sides  like  neon yellow  lava.  After  the reading,  someone  asked  me if I still pray to  God  as  I  sipped a  fizzy Diet Coke  and the ice cubes huddled and  softly clinked  around my  upper lip  leaving a wet mustache. After  the  reading,  someone said they had been divorced too and then  scurried away  in a way that I completely  understood. After the  reading,  a  woman told me I was worthy as if I was shattered while   I   picked   up   crudités   with  a   copious  dollop  of  ranch dressing.  After  the  reading,  a  white woman thanked me for my “angry poems.”  I  told  her they were about my joy,  and then she touched  my  forearm  and  said,  “No,  they were about my rage.” Insisting.   After   the  reading,   someone  said   they   cried,   and another  gave me a kind word.  Thank you. After the after,  I went   home and changed into my cheetah print pajamas. I wrapped my hair and  brushed my teeth.  I got in bed and played a  sci-fi show on  my  laptop.  The  actors  on the show were trying to find a way to talk  to aliens by  using  math  and pheromones.  I  googled the height   of  one  of  the   actors.  He  is  6' 4".   I   fell   asleep  while watching   the    show   about    the    people   in   space   trying   to   communicate  in  first  contact,  intergalactic  noises  beeped  and swirled around the room like bees.

Listen to Tiana Clark read her prose poem.

Tiana Clark writes: This prose poem tumbled out of me as anaphora, a way to capture the catalog of interactions that I’ve experienced after readings, which is a particularly tender and vulnerable time for me, especially when I’ve shared new work. The space after a reading can be a wild tangle of joy, connection, anxiety, and awkwardness when confronted with humanity. I’m learning to be more resolute about my own boundaries in the aftercare of art making.

[myinspirationjournalquotes]

This stanza will break back inside the form of honeycomb to suck the lyric into compression, reboot restraint, the grief-joy every day when I walk around Sylvan Park near a broken track of burned Black bodies but all I want to write about is Black joy and pleasure pleasure pleasure please...and Black love and Black lives that don't end with viral death, so I've stopped consuming the news.

From "Broken Sestina Reaching for Black Joy" by Tiana Clark

From the morning: of sizzling ceramic blades-pressing heat  and circadian fire on my 3C black curls, after-singe of straightening (white boy sniffing me for kindling). Signature of black char. We are tangled in the womb of his dorm room.

My Origin Story

The "why" behind this blog.

Preface: One of the elective courses of the Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA is “Selling Yourself and Your Ideas”. I expected it to be a class on Sales, with a heavy emphasis on communication. Instead, it turned out to be a weeklong study in the art of storytelling. On our last day (February 23, 2024), each student was called to give a 3-minute story presentation. This was mine. I chose my…

April 28, 2024: The Mother’s Loathing of Balloons, A.E. Stallings

The Mother’s Loathing of Balloons A.E. Stallings I hate you, How the children plead At first sight—

I want, I need, I hate how nearly Always I

At first say no, And then comply. (Soon, soon

They will grow bored Clutching your Umbilical cord)—

Over the moon, Lighter-than-air, Should you come home,

They’d cease to care— Who tugs you through The front door

On a leash, won’t want you Anymore And will forget you

On the ceiling— Admittedly, A giddy feeling—

Later to find you, Puckered, small, Crouching low

Against the wall. O thin-of-skin And fit to burst,

You break for her Who wants you worst. Your forebear was

The sack of the winds, The boon that gives And then rescinds,

Containing nothing But the force That blows everyone

Off course. Once possessed, Your one chore done,

You float like happiness To the sun, Untethered afternoon,

Unkind, Marooning all You’ve left behind:

Their tinfoil tears, Their plastic cries, Their wheedling

And moot goodbyes, You shrug them off— You do not heed—

O loose bloom                With no root                                  No seed.
