Brim-Bell, the state’s eighth laureate and a Cave Canem fellow, is a poet, printmaker, and author of These Women You Gave Me, Icarus in Love, and Psalm of the Sunflower. Her work has been featured in various journals and magazines and has appeared in numerous anthologies including the Whiskey of our Discontent, an anthology of essays commemorating poet Gwendolyn Brooks.

In addition to her literary accomplishments, she hosted a series of Black History Month television programs for the OneWorld Progressive Institute and is a former guest host of Patrick Oliver’s Literary Nation Talk Radio (KABF 88.3, Little Rock) for which she interviewed a variety of entertainers, literary figures, political pundits and community developers.
