Sitting with Marcus Taylor (Poet, Author, Educator). We discuss the Facebook grapevine, democracy at its finest, how hood dreams can come true, diversity at GSU, blackface in different countries, being black outside of the U.S., going from religious studies to snap music, cars dying in the middle of nowhere, sharpening skills with battle poems, the girl with angel eyes, rapping Romeo & Juliet, the age we find our voice, how losing art can make kids lose their voice, what defines an artist, sweet-talking a butterfly, and these Benjamins ain’t loyal.
