The book I’m writing is titled HOME OUT THERE. It’s about black queer people leaving home to find home. I weave my own experiences with biographical chapters about three black queer poet ancestors: Langston Hughes, Pauli Murray and Audre Lorde.

@kuchenga.bsky.social your work is absolutely fabulous ✨

And that’s a wrap! This is one of the best historical novels that I’ve read in a long time. Loved it ❤️

Okay now I’m imagining making a bunch of people from the 1820s read this and seeing the scandal on their faces. Knowing how obscenity disciplined speech…. It’s hard not to wonder what sorts of stories like this were destroyed, or never told in the first place.

on the edge of my seat right now

Oh shit the midpoint twist 🔥 this book is *phenomenal*

The way that this book is framing conversations about colonial and imperial racism through the lens of the white regency novel is absolutely brilliant.

Psst pspsps dark academia girlies, boy have I got a book recommendation for you 🍂📚

Okay had to take a breather after the last one, but next up we’ve got The Library Thief by Kuchenga Shenjé ❤️
