Six Bridges Book Festival: Donovan X. Ramsey & Erin Sharkey

Weaving together riveting research with the voices of survivors, Donovan X. Ramsey’s When Crack Was King is a crucial reevaluation of the crack epidemic of the 1980s and ’90s and a powerful argument for providing historically violated communities with the resources they deserve.

Erin Sharkey’s A Darker Wilderness is a vibrant collection of personal and lyric essays in conversation with archival objects of Black history and memory. In its pages, luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States.
