The Write Time with Write Out Poet Ambassador Jermaine Thompson and Educator Rich Novack
Born in Louisville, Mississippi, Jermaine Thompson learned language from big-armed women who greased their skillets with gossip and from full-bellied men who cursed and prayed with the same fervor. Jermaine earned his MFA in poetry from the University of Missouri Kansas City in 2018, and he currently teaches 9th–12th grade Humanities at Build Up Community School in Birmingham, AL.
Jermaine was interviewed by Connecticut teacher and Writing Project teacher-leader, Rich Novack.
