Samm Joyy’s debut poetry collection, A Decade, is a series of diary entries chronicling the experiences and tracking her personal growth in her 20s. In our conversation, we talk about the the early encouragement she received from teachers and the support she continues to receive through the Spoken Word St. John’s community.

A Decade is available for purchase at Engen Books or on Amazon.
