MORE ABOUT OUR FEATURE:
Briana Crockett is a Boston native that has too many jackets and not enough space. She is a neighborhood activist, a learner, a foodie, a joke teller/laugh influencer, a self-taught hair stylist and wig maker for the fun of it. Briana Is a reality tv lover, purely for the study of relationships and people. There is a story in everything. She believes the same in poetry. She’s a griot. Her poetry is a reflection of her culture, history, community, language, imagination, and power in giving a voice to the human experience. Though she may not write every day, she believes poems are essential to the way she sees the world and interacts with everyday life. She’s involved with the poetry scene in Boston. Briana has participated in Button Poetry’s Publishers Slam in 2021 and 2023, performed on GBH Boston’s Outspoken Saturdays, performed as apart of Boston Poetry Slam Organization, and various other Boston artist and activist spaces. She published a chapbook The Growing Place (2020) and an ebook When the World Stopped//We Were Still Beautiful. Her next book A Body of Want:A Galaxy of Other Trinkets is her second full length poetry book in print. She can be found talking with her hands (nails long) and on a tangent. You can find her listening to music, taking pictures of flowers, and hoarding hot sauce. If she were a poem, she’d be a Def Jam freestyle in 2004 probably performed by Mos Def (Yasiin Bey) or sung by Jill Scott.
