Coffee Time: CooXooEii Black returns to Lander to teach poetry classes; shares more details on Denver Art Museum residency

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with CooXooEii Black and Lisa McCart.

McCart is the Native American Liaison for FCSD #1 Lander Schools, and she once again set up writing classes at Lander schools, taught by Black, an LVHS graduate and member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe.

Black is currently a professor teaching writing classes at the University of Memphis, and when County 10 last caught up with him, he had just been announced as one of the artists chosen for the Denver Art Museum’s 2026 Native Arts Artist-in-Residency Program. (Black shared during the interview that the residency will officially begin August 1, 2026, and will last for two years.)

Even though he is staying busy as a professor and professional artist, Black still made time to stop by Lander schools and teach the youth about poetry the week before last. Black shared about making those connections with students, provided more details on the residency, and previewed what’s next for him.
