29 August 2020: So much pain and loss in the world, especially for the Black community, this past week. I've been thinking about Kenan all day, particularly the section above from "The Foundations of the Earth," which I've written about before. I first encountered his work when I was young--an M.A. student--but even then, I could sense writing that would make me learn, make me begin again, make me be a better person.
We are sad to share the news that Randall Kenan, professor of English, died at his home this week. The College joins the Creative Writing Program, @uncecl and others in the Carolina community in mourning this great loss and extend condolences to his family. pic.twitter.com/QRrZjWOpEW
