On February 6, 2014, the UK Student Activities Board hosted a reading featuring the Affrilachian Poets as part of a celebration of Black History Month. The poets, representing their publication Pluck! the Journal of Affrilachian Arts & Culture, each read a selection of their work individually.

Makalani Bandele is an Affrilachian Poet and proud Louisville native. His work has been featured in publication all across the United States, including Pluck!, and he is currently a guest editor for Toe Good Poetry. Here, he shares a selection of new poems.

This podcast was produced by David Cole.
