#sealeychallenge black creole chronicles by Mona Lisa Saloy, Poet Laureate of Louisiana "Kissed by thieves/ We count our teeth/ Kissed by thieves/ We count our teeth" This one is a big bouquet of poems so it took me two days but so worth it. @saloy1.bsky.social

I'm holding black creole chronicles on the Mexico City trolleybus line 7. The cover has a red, a yellow and a blue stripe on a cream background and the title is in lowercase bold sanserif font on the yellow stripe.

Kissed by thieves
We count our teeth
Kissed by thieves
We count our teeth

Throw Me Somethin' Mista with the gorgeous line, "Throw me my Motha Mista, alive well before age fifty dancin' whole"

Hurricanes Katrina & Rita at 20 A wonderful new anthology from @saloy1.bsky.social and other New Orleans, Louisiana, and Gulf Coast poets and visual artists. I believe you can still catch an upcoming reading around town. #NolaSky #booksky #poetrysky

Five poets sit on a stage with microphones and a projection behind them:

WORDS AND MUSIC PRESENTS
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita at 20

The poet on the left is speaking into a hand held microphone and the other four are looking at him and smiling.

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.
