Black Women Writers
"Black women writers have had the most profound impact on my own writing. Theirs is the writing I connect with most because of the ways in which they deal with truths about the self and the world. Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Gayl Jones, Octavia Butler, Edwidge Danticat, Kola Boof, and Ayana Mathis are some of the writers who have, in many ways, made it possible for me to write."
~ Robert Jones, Interview Magazine, October 2021
