Henry Dumas was a gifted poet and fiction writer who was killed in 1968. Since then, my father (and now I) have executed Henry Dumas's estate.

The Memoir My Dad Wouldn't Write is a radically honest conversation between a daughter and her dad. My dad has had an incredible life as a poet, activist, professor, and cultural worker. He wouldn't write a memoir, so this series of conversations is partly that.
