I Remember Being Black, Jake Small Jan 2021

I Remember Being Black, Jake Small

The Vermont Connection

This poem is modeled after Jo Brainard's "I Remember" (2001) which is a poetic prose/novel that recounts experiences the narrator encountered throughout their life. My poem, "I Remember Being Black," is poetic prose that serves to organize many of my racialized experiences inside of and expansive of formalized education.

To You, Doretha Michiah Dävé Benn

The Vermont Connection

This poem is a collection of dedications to poems that did not quite articulate the true feelings of the author. The dedications capture a loss of words and an inability to say the “right thing” to student affairs. This poem speaks to more than just the field of student affairs; it speaks to anyone who is in need of hope. To you.
