Headlines is a poetry collection based on current media headlines surrounding black people and our existing notions of blackness. The headlines present an accurate contemporary view into the current zeitgeist of blackness. Media headlines are revealing historical and sociological artifacts that provide insights into any society. I utilize media headlines to analyze our current notions regarding blackness and all it entails. Writing poems derived from headlines is certainly an interesting undertaking because although I am writing poems based on our current experiences, there are common historical threads that consistently become entrenched in the various headlines. Contemporary preconceptions of blackness seem to have difficulty dislodging themselves from past notions and narratives.
