Dear Dennis,Thank you for reaching out to me. I have pasted a biographical blurb below that you can post on the site. Also, I have inquired in the past about coming back and speaking to students at Jamaica and still remain interested in doing so. If there are any opportunities to do so, please let me know. Ferentz Lafargue is an assistant professor of literature at Eugene Lang College, The New School for Liberal Arts and author of the memoir Songs in the Key of My Life . He holds a B.A. in English from Queens College, CUNY and PhD in African American and American Studies from Yale University.
