Tune in on Friday 11/17 from 1:30-3pm as Tiger Lily chats with James Spooner and Chris L. Terry, the co-editors of Black Punk Now, an anthology of contemporary nonfiction, fiction, illustrations, and comics that collectively describe punk today and give punks—especially the Black ones—a wider frame of reference. Spooner and Terry will also share some songs that made an impact on their lives.
James Spooner is an award-winning graphic novelist, filmmaker, and tattoo artist. His debut graphic novel, The High Desert, was named “Best of 2022” by Publishers Weekly, the Washington Post, and the New York Public Library.

He is also a regular contributor to Razorcake magazine.
