杰里科 布朗是一位美国诗人，于2020年凭他的诗集《传统》而荣获普利策奖。他现居美国佐治亚州亚特兰大，担任 Emory 大学的创意写作计划主任和教授。 杰里科编辑的散文选集《How We Do It: Black Writers on Craft, Practice, and Skill》于2023年7月出版。此选集中包含了三十余个美国非裔作家对于文学和创作手法的热烈讨论。 这些灵动幽默的散文舍却了课堂上的繁文缛节，而是试图激发我们对于日常琐事如何丰富了内在创造了的思考，比如我们从小就熟悉的方言白话，我们称之为家的人和地方，等等。这本书是为每个热爱文字和写作的人，特是年轻的作家和诗人，所写的。但是作为编辑，杰里科希望此书能帮助每一位读者，在引导人拥有一双在琐碎的生活中发掘美妙艺术的眼睛，并让他们意识到自己从心扉发出的文字对世界的影响能有多么的强大。 How do you find your voice? As a writer, how do you take what you know and what you believe to share your stories with the world? How do we let young writers know just how powerful they are and that what they do matters? In How We Do It: Black Writers on Craft, Practice, and Skill Pulitzer Prize winning, and National Book Award finalist author Jericho Brown brings together more than 30 acclaimed writers, including the likes of Tayari Jones, Jacqueline Woodson, Natasha Trethewey, among many others, to discuss, dissect, and offer advice and encouragement on the written word.
