This week, we cut to the feeling with cultural critic and poet Hanif Abdurraqib, author of "They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us".  Ahmed and Hanif play a game of ’Carly Rae or Sufi?” and then chat about being the only POC in punk spaces and growing up Muslim. Later we call up Layla Abdullah-Poulos from NbA Muslims to unpack tribalism in the Muslim community, state violence, and the role of Muslim voices in the conversation about the Stephon Clark shooting.

Poet Maggie Smith of Good Bones, essayist Hanif Abdurraqib of They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us and novelist Nick White of How to Survive a Summer all appeared on Word Carver -- here are my favorite parts of our conversations. Smith talks about the relationship between her poetry and the lost art of crankies, Abdurraqib takes on discussion of the n-word, and White examines gay conversion therapy camps and the ethos behind them.

Columbus native Hanif Abdurraqib talks about the themes running through his latest book, a collection of essays called "They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us." Speaking with Word Carver host Cynthia Rosi, the two compare themes emerging in the essays with Abdurraquib's previous volume of poetry "The Crown Ain't Worth Much." Additional reporting by Amy Dalrymple.

Hanif Abdurraqib reads from his new book of essays They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us at the latest Paging Columbus event. This event was at publisher Two Dollar Radio's new storefront location on Parsons Avenue, and the venue was packed. Abdurraqib was followed by William Evans, also launching a book (of poetry) Still Can't Do My Daughter's Hair, out from Button Poetry press.
