“For some reason there's this myth that creativity - [especially] in terms of creative writing - is a gift you either have, or you don't. So when people first start writing, if they write something that's not very good, or if they try and it's difficult, they go, "Oh, I guess I don't have it."

“But for poor black people and working-class black people, it is a much more difficult way to go. The over-incarceration of black people is just intolerable.
