This discussion was extra special, as I sat down with poet, educator, storyteller, and friend, Rosa Castellano, to talk about her debut poetry collection, All Is The Telling (Diode Editions, 2025).
In this conversation we reference:
Cover artist and muralist, Eric “ESH” Hornsby. Read more about his work here, and follow him on Instagram.
Artist Kara Walker, known for her work with silhouettes (among other projects).
For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow is Enuf is by Ntozake Shange
Author and editor Toni Morrison
Poet and essayist Aurielle Marie is the author of Gumbo Ya Ya (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2021).
Nature Poem (Tin House, 2017) by Tommy Pico
The penultimate poem of Rosa’s collection is entitled, “I’m Going Back to My Childhood where Yelling Makes Sense”
