Chaun Webster, Graphic Designer, Publisher and Poet, is back on the podcast to talk about and read from his newly published poetry collection, Wail Song. Chaun describes Wail Song as an “attempt at care,” which also “lays bare how the construction of the human and the animal both rely on Black abjection.” In this episode, Chaun discusses this long poem with host, Tracine. Together, they weave conversation, meditations, alternatives, metaphors and new possibilities to wade with listeners through and against antiblackness.
You can hear more from Chaun Webster on Episode 1 of Rewriting the Rules℠. In ‘All About Love,’ Chaun explores how love informs his artistic practice, what Black boys and men are taught about love, and his own understanding of love.
