Chaun Webster is a poet and graphic designer living in Minneapolis whose work is attempting to put pressure on the spatial and temporal limitations of writing, of the english language, as a way to demonstrate its incapacity for describing blackness outside of a regime of death and dying. Webster’s books include, Gentry!fication: or the scene of the crime (Noemi Press, 2018), and Wail Song: wading in the water at the end of the world, (Black Ocean Press, 2023). Both books were awarded the Minnesota Book Award for Poetry.
