My most recent book is FLYING THE COOP, the second novel in my speculative DREAMBIRD CHRONICLES trilogy. For this series, I write about a future world where racial conflict and the urban/rural divide have turned the country into the Disunited States. How do enslaved people engineer hope? What stories do they tell each other? My White English mother taught her biracial offspring to "dance like trees" on Clapham Common in London; my Black Jamaican-Maroon father taught me to love the land our ancestors were taken from. Among my previous books are the memoir NO RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT: What We've Learned from the Tragedy at Virginia Tech, the novel LADY MOSES (a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers selection) and the poetry collection THE HUMMING BIRDS, winner of the Eighth Mountain Poetry Prize. I'm a Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech, and I give keynotes and presentations on creative writing, race and racism, diversity, education, and campus safety.
