Arts Writing from Mn, Beyond Mn
Chaun Webster is a poet and graphic designer living in Minneapolis whose work is attempting to put pressure on the spatial and
temporal limitations of writing, of the english language, as a way to demonstrate its incapacity for describing blackness outside of a regime of death and dying. Webster’s debut book, Gentry!fication: or the scene of the crime, was published by Noemi Press in 2018, and received the 2019 Minnesota Book Award for poetry. Wail Song: wading in the water at the end of the world, is forthcoming from Black Ocean Press April 2023.
