Tongo Eisen-Martin was born in San Francisco, California, and received an MA from Columbia University. He is the author of Someone's Dead Already (Bootstrap Press, 2015), which was nominated for a California Book Award, and Heaven Is All Goodbyes (City Lights Publishers, 2017), which received the California Book Award and an American Book Award. His newest book Blood On the Fog (City Lights Publishers, 2021) is now available. A poet, movement worker, and educator, his latest curriculum on extrajudicial killing of Black people, We Charge Genocide Again, has been used as an educational and organizing tool throughout the country.
Listening to Tongo recite his poetry is stepping into a whirlwind of conscious altering transformation. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, and be ready to go on a journey like no other into the heart of our troubled, wondrous waters.
