Rachel speaks with poet, scholar, and Thinking Its Presence conference founder Prageeta Sharma about her book Grief Sequence and creating a platform for BIPOC writers and scholars with the settlement from her discrimination lawsuit. The conversation touches on grief, racism and misogyny, attachment to problematic objects, second chances at love, the abject lyric, false friends, and how to support each other with vibrancy.
Selected Work by Prageeta Sharma
“A One Won” and “Friendship and Racial Furniture: An Address” in Harp & Altar, Issue 11, Winter 2022
