00:38I want to welcome you guys to Dream Chasers Radio with me, your host, Yaya Diamond

00:41I've been doing this since 2006

00:46Yeah, am I like an OG or something?

00:49I don't know, I'm an OG

00:51But we have an amazing guest on the show today

00:54And I want to highlight, I'm not a poetry person

00:56I'm more of a story person

00:58I'm more of like, you know, like

01:00But if you ask me to do poetry, I'm like, roses are red

01:04Can you continue that for me?

01:06But the next person is a lot better than that

01:09Her name is, and I want to make sure it's Miss Gaskins

01:11I didn't want to say her first name

01:13Because I am really bad

01:15And I will torture a name in a heartbeat

01:17But she is here to set the record straight

01:20That she's an amazing author

01:21Not only that, she has a book called Out in the Wild

01:24A book of poems on nature

01:27And I want to welcome her to the show

01:28Thank you so much for joining us today

01:31Thank you so much for having me

01:33It's such a pleasure to be with you

01:34Oh, the pleasure is mine

01:35The pleasure is mine

01:36Now that book cover is beautiful

01:38And you know, and I'm kind of getting off subject here

01:40But I wanted to find out why a hummingbird on the front cover

01:46Well, hummingbirds are really special

01:48I think it's probably one of my favorite birds

01:51I think maybe you might be an amateur bird watcher potentially too

01:56But it really, it's a bird that really speaks to me

02:00And while it's not the only bird that I talk about in the book

02:04It's my favorite bird

02:05So that's why I ended up on the cover

02:06I got you, I got you

02:08So, you know, can you share what inspired you to write Out in the Wild

02:11And what the title means to you

02:15Yeah, so I, as you mentioned, I love poetry

02:19I've loved poetry since I was a little girl

02:22And have always written poetry coming up

02:26And I love writing

02:27And I've written about children's books and other pieces

02:30But I've always found myself coming back to being inspired by something in nature

02:35And so when I looked across my writings

02:38I realized I actually had a lot of poems about different parts of nature

02:42And really kind of came together as a collection that I wasn't expecting to be writing

02:47Or even putting out into the world first

02:49But it became something of a love letter

02:55Particularly for me is how much I love nature

02:57And Out in the Wild really is about just reclaiming that sense of wonder in everyday life

03:04I feel like we, the world is so structured and scheduled now

03:08And, you know, even taking a walk

03:10Oftentimes felt like, you know, a return to something freer and more alive

03:15And so it just was a reminder to me

03:18And then I wanted to share with others that the wild isn't really that distant

03:22And it's present and will then into our daily lives if we just choose to see it

03:25I hear you

03:26I love that

03:27I absolutely love that

03:28And I think you're right

03:29We're so scheduled

03:30We're so, we're so like, okay, seven to nine

03:35We got the gym

03:36Okay

03:37Nine o'clock, take a shower

03:39So it's like, boom, boom, boom, boom

03:41I think we have to be that way

03:43But you know what?

03:44It would be nice to return to nature

03:46To be out in the wild is beautiful

03:48But you've written across genres of music

03:51You've written the children's books

03:52You've written the poetry

03:53You've written policy work

03:57Okay

03:57So why this particular book?

04:02What made you write this particular collection of natural nature's poetry?

04:09Yeah, I mean, I think part of it for me is across all my work is finding and thinking about

04:15how interconnected things are

04:17And what I realized is, you know, in my day-to-day job, my policy work being an advocate for

04:23children

04:23Oftentimes I'm being regrounded in what's going on in community

04:27And that's not separate from the realities of nature and climate change and so much more

04:33And so I think it really was a natural extension to take something that I sort of do in my

04:40creative spare time

04:41And connect it, continue to put it out in the world as it's connected to my other work

04:47Gotcha

04:48You know, you tell people to pause

04:51And to, you know, see the extraordinary in life

04:55And I know that it can be

04:58People think, I mean, how would I say this?

05:01People take things for granted

05:02A simple lemon

05:03It's not just a simple lemon

05:05It's like, it's got electrolytes in it

05:08It's got electricity in it

05:10It's got

05:10There are just so many different things in animals

05:13I mean, I walk outside sometimes and I can see an animal

05:16I don't take that for granted

05:18Why is it that this is important for you to tell people

05:22And for your readers to know that they need to elevate these ordinary elements of nature

05:29Yeah

05:29Well, I think it really gets back to if you have children or you're around children

05:35When they're very young, they stop and look at these things in nature

05:41And they are in awe and in wonder

05:43And they often see the bigger story behind something as simple as, you know, a leaf, right?

05:50Kids chase leaves on the ground

05:51And then as we get older, we kind of lose that sense of wonder

05:54Or we feel like we can only get it on vacation or in these big ways

05:58And so for me, it's really about trying to have us reground again

06:03And be in balance and recognize that nature is always trying to tell us something

06:09If we're paying attention to it

06:11And, you know, indigenous native people definitely have a better sense of this

06:16And really have a history of honoring nature

06:19And I think as we, you know, live in a capitalistic society

06:23That's often the last thing we're talking about

06:26Or we're talking about how do we preserve nature in these big policy ways

06:29So we're not talking about how we appreciate or can appreciate it

06:32In the small ways

06:33Yeah, wow

06:35You're right

06:36You know, you bring up, you bring up natives

06:40You bring up, like, when I think of native

06:43I think Indians

06:44I think Seminole, Chick-Taw, Cherokee

06:48The people who live and who cherish the buffalo

06:53Cherish the deer

06:55Cherish the animals and the plants

06:57And, you know, like, for me, it's like collard greens

07:03You know, but in your book, right?

07:07Do you write about these things?

07:09Do you write about preserving, like, the history of food

07:12Or the history of the people and the nature that they have involved in their historical elements?

07:19Well, so that's the real beauty of poetry

07:22Is that I try to tell that story without having to put it out there right in your face

07:27And think about it in that way

07:28And I remember I was putting, as I was putting this collection together

07:35And talking with folks

07:37And sharing that, you know, a lot of what

07:40Many of the poems are about food

07:43And they're like, oh, I wouldn't think about that as, like, nature in the same way

07:48But for me, as you just said

07:50I've had the privilege of growing up in rural communities

07:53And urban communities

07:54And had to really learn to appreciate things as simple as collard greens, right?

08:00Or if you're in an urban area

08:01Being able to have access to certain foods

08:04That feel, like, out of reach at times

08:06And so being able to tell

08:09Recognize that each item has a history

08:12Particularly food

08:13And the relevance to it

08:15And remind people

08:17Because we often forget

08:18Because those histories get lost, right?

08:20And so that is part of what I try to do

08:23In the poetry

08:24And in the storytelling

08:25Of talking about collard greens

08:28Or potatoes

08:28Or tobacco

08:31Yeah, yeah

08:32I concur that collard greens is a part of history

08:37Thank you

08:39I'm hungry right now

08:40Historically speaking, I'm hungry

08:42Yeah

08:45Definitely, definitely

08:46So, you know, I would really like to know

08:48Could you read or share

08:50Like one of your favorite poems from the collection

08:52And tell us the story behind it?

08:55Sure

08:56So, I would

08:57I'm happy to

08:58And there's a lot that I love

09:01And a lot of the

09:02I mean, they're all my

09:03All my babies

09:04But I would say that

09:07One of my favorites is

09:09And I had it applied

09:11And now it's missing

09:13Is Cotton

09:14And this one

09:17Is

09:18Related to my childhood

09:20So I will

09:21I'll share

09:22I'll read it

09:23And then I'll share a little bit more behind it

09:25Cotton

09:26I walked through your fields

09:28I wanted to touch you

09:29And take you home

09:30To pluck you

09:32From your wood-like boil

09:33Seemed so unfair

09:35I had heard so much about you

09:37How my ancestors carried you

09:39And pounds of a hundred

09:41Strapped like babies to their shoulders

09:43Forced to harvest more of you

09:46Drag you through the gin

09:48They were forbidden to wear

09:50Your whitest of fibers

09:51Now I slip you on

09:54With ease

09:55Organic and stylish

09:56Without remembering the whip

09:58The highest price is paid

10:01Just to separate the lint

10:02Oh, how the boil weevil picked

10:05The wrong target

10:06The sacrifices made

10:08To get you to market

10:09So leave you, I must

10:11A burr on the stalk

10:15And this poem

10:16For me

10:17Was about growing up

10:19In South Carolina

10:20And seeing many, many

10:22Cotton fields

10:23And thinking

10:25They're so beautiful

10:26And that was a part of my childhood

10:28And you know

10:29But you couldn't touch it

10:30Because one

10:31The boil is very hard

10:33And could like prick you

10:35And obviously

10:36You know

10:37It's a farmer's property

10:38So you're not allowed

10:38To just go up

10:39And you know

10:39Pluck someone else's cotton

10:41And then to now be

10:43You know

10:44And I grew up in

10:45Pretty impoverished circumstances

10:47Even though both my parents

10:49Worked really hard

10:50And to be able to now

10:51Just go in a store

10:53And buy some organic cotton dress

10:56That cost probably more

10:58Than anyone could imagine

10:59Back in our ancestors' time

11:01And just to remember

11:03What it took

11:05For the history

11:06Behind something as simple

11:07As a dress

11:08Or cotton

11:09Or what we're made of

11:09And how we need to honor it

11:11And think about it

11:12And not forget

11:12And so this is probably

11:15One of my favorites

11:15Because it really just came out

11:17Of me

11:20Feeling very privileged

11:21To be able to buy a dress

11:22One day

11:22And then thinking like

11:23Gosh

11:24Like this is such a privilege

11:25And I need to remember

11:27What price was paid

11:28400 years ago

11:30For this

11:30Yeah

11:32You got me

11:33You got me

11:34You know

11:35You consider your poetry stories?

11:38I feel like they're story-like

11:40You know

11:40I think poetry

11:42Often

11:43Gets forgotten

11:44As a way to tell history

11:46Like it

11:47It can capture history

11:48In ways that don't

11:49Like make it into

11:50Textbooks

11:51And so

11:53You know

11:54I feel like

11:54You can

11:55Tell

11:56A story through poetry

11:59In a way that captures

12:00The feeling of things

12:01In a way to give honor

12:03To

12:06Whatever it is

12:07You're thinking about

12:07In poetry

12:10But it's often

12:11Can be story-like

12:12Yeah

12:13Wow

12:14So

12:15Okay

12:16You talk about

12:17Your ancestors

12:17And your acknowledgments

12:19And

12:19How did their presence

12:21Or their stories

12:22Influence the way

12:23You wrote this collection?

12:26I think

12:27In some poems

12:28More than others

12:28Like this one

12:29Is very clear

12:30That I was

12:31Thinking about them

12:33Feeling motivated

12:35By the

12:35Interconnectedness

12:36Of like the past

12:37And the present

12:39And then I think

12:40In other ways

12:43Just

12:46As

12:46Black people

12:48We often forget

12:49That we also have

12:50Or we're often not

12:52Shared in the history

12:53That we have

12:54Such a connection

12:55To nature

12:55And the earth

12:58That

12:59Along with all

13:00Our other histories

13:00Was lost

13:01In the slave trade

13:02And so

13:03It's not until

13:04We either

13:05Go back to the continent

13:06Or are really

13:07Intentional about

13:08How much

13:08We also were

13:09People

13:10In balance

13:11With nature

13:12And cared about

13:13And protected nature

13:14And preserved nature

13:15And so

13:16I think part of

13:17Also why

13:17Where they were

13:18In the background

13:19Is saying

13:19You know

13:20We have a story

13:21To tell

13:21And a connection

13:22To

13:23And that's

13:24And that is a part

13:25Of what this

13:25Is trying to do

13:26Wow

13:27So if I go back

13:28And to the

13:29You know

13:30To the beginning

13:31Of the interview

13:31You wrote

13:32Children's poetry

13:33Children's books

13:35Poetry

13:36Nature's poetry

13:37But policy

13:38So going back

13:39To policy

13:40I'm thinking

13:40Do you write

13:42In this particular

13:44Book of

13:45You know

13:45The collection

13:46Of stories

13:46That you have here

13:47Or poetry

13:48That you have here

13:48Whichever one

13:49You want to call it

13:50Now that it's

13:50You know

13:51We know

13:51It's history

13:52And we know

13:52It's stories

13:53But do you write

13:54About like

13:55Climate change

13:55And justice

13:56And things like that

13:57Because you did

13:58Do policy

13:59Yeah

14:00I mean

14:00I think

14:01Part of

14:02The

14:03My goal

14:06In writing

14:07This book

14:07And in the

14:08Poetry

14:09That I put out

14:09And that I

14:10Choose to like

14:11Put out

14:11And share it

14:11With the world

14:12Is really

14:13Trying to bring

14:14Different audiences

14:15In

14:15And so

14:16For me

14:16I'm always

14:17Thinking about

14:18Young people

14:18And children

14:19And how to

14:22Be able to

14:23Share with them

14:24In ways that

14:26May be

14:26Non-traditional

14:27Or ways in which

14:28To get people

14:29To think differently

14:29About things

14:30And so

14:31In this collection

14:32I have two

14:33Poems

14:34That are

14:35Very specifically

14:36Linked to climate

14:37Justice

14:38One is about water

14:39The other is

14:40About bees

14:40And how

14:41We need to

14:42Continue to

14:42Protect both

14:45And really

14:46Advocating for

14:47Water as a

14:48Natural right

14:48For everyone

14:49On this planet

14:50And so

14:52Just trying to

14:52Find ways

14:53To slip in

14:54My advocacy

14:55Around certain

14:56Issues

14:56At times

14:57And just

14:58Bringing awareness

14:59Frankly

14:59Because oftentimes

15:00Particularly

15:01Young people

15:02And children

15:02Are not aware

15:03They're not

15:04I don't think

15:05Adults are aware

15:07Sometimes

15:08But I think

15:09What?

15:10That really

15:11Happened?

15:11Yeah, I've

15:12Yeah, I've

15:13Said that

15:14I've said that

15:15But, you know

15:16Okay, so

15:16Like when people

15:17Finish reading

15:18Out in the wild

15:19What do you

15:20Want them to

15:21Take away

15:21When they

15:23Finish reading

15:23That book

15:24What is it

15:24That you want

15:25To emphasize

15:26What do you

15:27Want them to

15:27Know after

15:28They've read

15:29This

15:29Yeah

15:31What my hope

15:32Is that

15:32They really

15:33Take away

15:34That they

15:35Are interconnected

15:36With nature

15:37And that

15:37You don't

15:38Have to

15:38Be, you

15:39Know

15:40Hiking

15:41The everglades

15:42Or, you

15:43Know

15:43Or doing

15:43Something

15:43Really grand

15:45To

15:46To

15:48Recognize

15:48That

15:49And appreciate

15:49That

15:50And really

15:51Find the joy

15:52And wonder

15:53In it

15:53You know

15:54As I was

15:55Sharing

15:55I grew up

15:56In a rural

15:56Community

15:57But I've

15:58Lived in

15:58Urban environments

16:00I've worked

16:00With young

16:01People

16:01And children

16:02Who live

16:02In urban

16:03Environments

16:03And nature

16:05Is so critical

16:06To us

16:06Understanding

16:07Our place

16:08In the world

16:08And so

16:09You know

16:10Something as

16:11Small as

16:11A potato

16:12You may not

16:13Ever see

16:13A potato

16:14Grow

16:14As a child

16:15Who lives

16:15In inner city

16:16Detroit

16:17Or New York

16:18City

16:18But you

16:19Could understand

16:19And know

16:20The history

16:20Of that potato

16:21And why

16:21It can be

16:22So important

16:22And impactful

16:23In your life

16:24And has been

16:24Impactful

16:25For generations

16:26In many

16:26People's lives

16:27And so

16:27What I hope

16:28Is that they

16:29Get a sense

16:29Of connectedness

16:31Even if they

16:32Can't walk

16:33Outside their

16:33Door

16:33And touch

16:34A tree

16:34Or hug

16:35A tree

16:36And that

16:37They also

16:38Feel

16:41That they

16:42Can

16:43Reflective

16:44And that

16:44They can be

16:45Ways in which

16:45Nature

16:47Can bring

16:48A lot

16:48Of joy

16:50Anything

16:51Surprised you

16:51On this

16:52Journey

16:52You know

16:53Writing

16:53I mean

16:54Writing

16:54Can be

16:55You know

16:56Healing

16:56Writing

16:57Can be

16:57Relieving

16:58Writing

16:58Can be

16:59Punctual

16:59Writing

17:00Can

17:01Policy

17:01I mean

17:02You know

17:02You could

17:03Put pretty

17:03Much

17:03Anything

17:03You want

17:04In there

17:04What was

17:05It that

17:05Surprised
