Author Shayla Lawson talks with OPB’s Tiffany Camhi at the Portland Book Festival (OPB)

Read the original post by  Sage Van Wing  on opb.org

Shayla Lawson is a poet, a writer and the author of several books. Her latest is called ‘This is Major.’ It’s a collection of essays on the Black American experience specifically through the eyes of a Black woman. It’s unapologetic and funny and serious and stylistically risk-taking.

Lawson spoke with OPB’s Tiffany Camhi as a part of the recent Portland Book Festival put on by Literary Arts.
