SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR: A. H. Jerriod Avant for‬‭ Muscadine‬
DESCRIPTION:About the book\n“Muscadine will elicit intimacy and build community. A necessary book in fraught times.” – francine j. harris \nA. H. Jerriod Avant’s debut collection\, Muscadine\, cultivates the vine of familial memory\, eulogizing our collective losses while exalting the succor of this human life\, how the native grape’s “thick skin    [that] teeth / pierce    breaks to pour // sweetly across the tongue.” \nThroughout these pages\, a deeply Southern sensibility balances an environmental awareness of deficit and bounty — appetite pains the stomach and delights the palette. In all seasons\, the tongue’s subversive intelligence sculpts this masterwork of love\, grace\, conflict\, and grief. \nThis book tastes summer and the “ruins of / an afternoon” at once; it explores the language that testifies to loss while illuminating the abundance that loss obscures. Avant accentuates the sonic joys that Black Southern voices bring to bear on memorializing the present and commemorating the past. \nAbout the author\nA. H. Jerriod Avant was born and raised in Longtown\, Mississippi. A graduate of Jackson State University\, Jerriod has earned MFA degrees from Spalding University and New York University. He’s received scholarships from the Breadloaf Writer’s Conference and Naropa University’s Summer Writing Program. A former resident at the James Castle House and Vermont Studio Center\, Jerriod has received two winter fellowships from the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown and an emerging artist grant from the St. Botolph Club Foundation. His work has appeared in the Boston Review\, Pinwheel\, Callaloo\, Virginia Quarterly Review\, Obsidian\, The Yale Review\, and other journals. He’s currently the 2024-25 Grisham Writer in Residence at the University of Mississippi.
