Good Dress: Brittany Rogers and Kush Thompson


Celebrate the release of VS Podcast co-host Brittany Rogers’s highly anticipated debut poetry collection Good Dress, which relates formative experiences of intimacy, pleasure, and belonging growing up as a Black woman in Detroit. Chicago poet and archival artist Kush Thompson will join Rogers in dialogue.

Murmurs from the poets:

You gotta be from here to get the
joke.

— Brittany Rogers, from Good Dress

Here, where everything grows without permission.
Here, where sunflowers rise from the
potholes

— Kush Thompson, from This, Here
