From a young age, Black girls are often taught that their natural hair isn't beautiful or acceptable. Seeing a representation of hairstyles like Havana twists on television is crucial. It's empowering and affirming. Big shout out to Queenie for perfectly capturing this!

All episodes of Queenie are available now, only on Hulu ❤️

what are you reading recently!! love your writing would love to see what ur inspo is etc :)

yay thank you what a great ask!!

over the past couple months i’ve been obsessed with june jordan and reading her poetry in the mornings with my coffee! she has definitely impacted my style a lot.

others who i would say have influenced my style include bell hooks, dionne brand, anaïs nin, adrienne maree brown, and robin wall kimmerer.

specifically in terms of queer literature, obviously stone butch blues, but i also loved Last Words from Montmartre by qiu miaojin as well as fieldwork by iliana regan and tomboland by melissa faliveno. i’m always interested in literature that ties queerness to land.

i read a lot of memoirs. another word for love by carvell wallace really influenced the way i think about rhythm in writing. i also loved wounds of passion, bell hooks’ memoir on writing.

i’m very influenced by genres close to what i would loosely call magical realism, though many of these authors use different terminology. this includes the human origins of beatrice porter by soraya palmer, we measure the earth with our bodies by tsering yangsom lama, and she would be king by wayetu moore. these are all books that tie spirituality to land to history to culture (and sometimes in some ways to queerness.) in this same broad genre my next read will be blackheart man by nalo hopkinson.

i also read a lot of craft books. some recent favorites include steering the craft by ursula le guin and body work by melissa febos (which i really really really cannot recommend enough!). i’m also currently reading shapes of native nonfiction, an anthology gathered by elissa washuta that i cannot recommend enough and should be accompanied by ursula le guin’s essay on the Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction.

and my current read is thrust by lidia yuknavitch! it’s very rich and weaves a lot together about water, history, the environment, labor, solidarity and queerness. it’s kind of a maze of a narrative but a lot is staying with me.

i’m gonna stop there for now bc i think it’s a lot!! but broadly i’m interested in personal narratives, be they memoir or fictional (or lightly fictional), magic & spirituality, and speculative fiction. poetry is newer to me and i look for work that really directly ties the personal to the political.

cool. that’s what i have for now. i hope that’s helpful and gives you a good place to start! let me know if you have any further questions :)

“The King of Melody,” Burt Bacharach Dead at 94

Burt Bacharach, the composer of more than 50 top-40 hits and songwriting partner of and collaborator with Hal David, Dionne Warwick, Elvis Costello and others, has died at 94 of natural causes.

The Associated Press first reported the news.

“Farewell genius,” Simply Red tweeted.

Hailed by Dave Davies as “probably one of the most influential songwriters of our time,” Bacharach, whose motto was “never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember,” is said to have composed more than 1,000 songs including “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” “What the World Needs Now” and “What’s New, Pussycat?”

“He was a great inspiration,” Davies said.

Bacharach in 2020 cut Blue Umbrella with Nashville singer/songwriter Daniel Tashian, causing Sawyer Brown to marvel at the composer’s triumph of “creating timeless songs” into his 90s.

“Thank you, Burt Bacharach, for all those wonderful traveling companions,” Brown wrote on Facebook, recounting the songwriter’s work with Warwick, which included 20 top-40 hits.

Bacharach’s songs were also recorded by the Beatles, the Fifth Dimension, Manfred Mann, Dusty Springfield, Christopher Cross, Roberta Flack and others. He and Costello released Painted from Memory in 1998.

“I’ll always think of Burt Bacharach as the King of Melody,” Stephen Bishop said. “His songs are timeless.”

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.
