Sights and Sounds is your weekly guide the Bay Area arts scene through the eyes and ears of local artists. During shelter-in-place, instead of recommending in-person events, we're offering suggestions for ways to experience art and culture from home. This week, host Jenee Darden speaks with educator and poet Vernon Keeve III. Daddy Was a Number Runner by Louise Meriwether This classic takes readers back in time to Harlem during the Great Depression where 12-year-old Francie Coffin lives with her working-class family. Her father runs numbers because he can’t find legal work. She has one brother in a gang and another who wants to be a chemist. Francie has dreams of a better life too. Although the book was written in the 1970s and takes place nearly a century ago, some of the issues Louise Meriwether presents still plague Black families today. The Third Life of Grange Copeland by Alice Walker Grange Copeland is a Black farmer who leaves the South for a better future. But when he moves

Bay Area poet Vernon Keeve III lost his father during this pandemic. That loss--and that relationship--was a complicated one. His father was a Southern Baptist preacher and lawyer who for most of his life did not extend to his son the grace he was preaching. He suffered from dementia for two years before his death, and was only just beginning to make amends in their relationship before he lost the ability to do so.In this final conversation of season one, Vernon shares how he's come to terms with his personal history, and used both the past and the present to inspire his writing.You can find Vernon's book, Southern Migrant Mixtape, here.You can find The Bay Area Writing Project here.I mentioned C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters in this episode, which I highly recommend. Casey Cep wrote a great story about it for the New Yorker back in 2013, which you can find here.As always, you can find show notes and support our work at www.shelterinplacepodcast.info.

Hosted by Cassandra Dallet, The Badass Bookworm has a conversation with author/educator Vernon Keeve III and author/photographer Rohan DaCosta as they discuss Vernon's book "Southern Migrant Mixtape" and their other favorite books.

In this episode, we speak with Vernon Keeve III about his book Southern Migrant Mixtape (Nomadic Press, 2018), a collection published by Nomadic Press. Memoir comes in many forms, be it poetry or prose. Keeve’s work is a bridge between both worlds. In a manner that is simultaneously universal and intimate, his book is an unflinching view at what it is to be black, queer, disenfranchised, jubilant, and resilient. Via his deft pen, Keeve turns his focus on how his own personal history is deeply connected to, and is bolstered by, the black experience in society. It is via this collection, Keeve hopes to create a legacy for the story of his family, his culture, and the future. As he writes in “The decomposition of Emmett,” There is a dis- ease in the land. This collection dissects the diss, the unease, and the sickness of American generations as a means of healing and reconciliation. Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, Athena Dixon is a poet, essayist, and editor. She is Founder of Linden Avenue Literary Journal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
