With the support of a New Works Grant from the Headlands Center for the Arts\, Matuk is currently at work on two books of poems that in their distinct ways consider the question with which Orlando Patterson’s ended 1982’s Slavery and Social Death: “must we challenge our conception of freedom and the value we place upon it?” \nTonya Foster was born in Bloomington\, Illinois\, and raised in New Orleans.
