A Burden of Flame: An Interview with Amanda Johnston
A Burden of Flame:An Interview with Amanda Johnston Kyle G. Dargan and Amanda Johnston (bio) This interview was conducted via e-mail in August, 2007, between Washington, D.C. and Austin, Texas. KYLE G. DARGAN: Would you say Torch grew out of a greater need or a more personal desire to disseminate and spotlight the work of women who are writing? AMANDA JOHNSTON: As a writer, I continually look for work by authors like myself—contemporary black wom…
Moderation: A Moderate Reflection on Callaloo / Callaloo as Food and Text
Moderation A Moderate Reflection on Callaloo / Callaloo As Food and Text Kyle G. Dargan One of the later markers of the ethnic transformation occurring in my county was the expansion of the exotic food aisles in the supermarkets—most tellingly at the "nice Shoprite" up the hill in West Orange. The Brick Church Shoprite, four lights up the street from my mother's house, had its ear to the ground, as far as the Caribbean influence is concerned, muc…
Future Imperfect: An Introduction
Future Imperfect:An Introduction Keith D. Leonard (bio) and Kyle Dargan The Changing Same Again Being asked to name the future—I originally thought that this was the strange privilege and humbling burden inherent in serving as guest editors of "The Next Thirty" issue of Callaloo. I thought that our task would be to name and claim the voices in African-American and Africana studies and literature that were most fully pushing the boundaries of the …

Everything We Can Imagine:An Interview with Harryette Mullen Kyle G. Dargan and Harryette Romell Mullen (bio) This interview was conducted via e-mail in July, 2007. KYLE G. DARGAN: Growing up on, as you say, "the edge of Southern black culture," has Callaloo's evolution from a journal of black Southern literature to the broader Black Diaspora surprised you in any way?

Dargan and Miles Marshall Lewis (bio) This interview was conducted via e-mail during July, 2007, between College Station, Texas and Paris, France. KYLE G.

Ars Poetica
Adam After the Hurricanes Peter Cooley Between winds, while the hurricane decides if it will answer prayers or go its way through my neighborhood, chimneys, roofs a whim it can lift off and deposit across town, I'm in this moment I call contentment. St. Paul found his, remember, in prison. Surely this gray cage Katrina has built entrapping me within my house, the bars rain impossible for the naked eye rains here to teach me something like those p…

Jerry W. Ward, Jr. Jerry Washington Ward (bio) and Kyle G. Dargan DARGAN: Were you able to evacuate New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina hit the city? WARD: Yes, I was able to evacuate. I left the Sunday before the hurricane hit. I left because I got urgent messages from friends who said, "You must leave," and I was very resistant. And then I heard the reports of Mayor Nagin's very impassioned plea for people to leave, as he issued a mandatory ev…
Phat: A Meta-Discourse on the Value of Canonizing The Round (Spheropygian), Broad (Platypygous), and Bulging (Pleopygian) Buttocks (with a resistance to such speech)
1. Mammy is her own Madonna/whore complex, so please don't ask if she needs help carrying all that. Brother Slim, you've been rapt inside her phonetic shape for ages—save all that R&B about wanting into them jeans, those drawers, those boots, that— 2. America's history is of not asking before helping itself to cuts of scapedonkeyass—the strung up, disembodied curvature a struck sieve spilling black men who burn like phosphorous on the way down, m…
