AirGo is excited to present The Notebook Suite, a series of conversations with writers about liberation, craft, and radical imagination co-curated by poet Nate Marshall. On this volume of the suite, the guys welcome back AirGo alum Hanif Abdurraqib. Hanif is a poet, essayist, and cultural critic from Columbus, Ohio who is the author of five books, including the forthcoming "A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance." He breaks down his car music listening route, the borderless insistence of his curiosity, the power of speaking loudly and clearly in his hometown, and much more.
