Some Old Havoc: A Golden Shovel After Eve L. Ewing & Dear Toni Morrison

In Some Old Havoc and Dear Toni Morrison, poet and teaching artist CieraJevae honors the legacy of Eve L. Ewing and Toni Morrison—two writers who shape her voice and vision. Some Old Havoc, a Golden Shovel after Ewing, resurrects ancestral memory through rhythm and resistance, while Dear Toni Morrison is a poetic offering to the woman who taught her the power of truth-telling. Both pieces reflect CieraJevae’s commitment to writing that is raw, rooted, and unapologetically Black.
