Abstract
I n her novels Halsey Street (2018) and What’s Mine and Yours (2021), author Naima Coster explores the complexities of gentrification, parent–child relationships, and ethnoracial identity formation. A proud New Yorker of Caribbean heritage, Coster was born and raised in Fort Greene, Brooklyn to parents who have roots in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Curaçao. Coster earned her MFA in Fiction from Columbia and holds degrees in Creative Writing, English, and African American studies from Fordham and Yale. In this interview with Trent Masiki and Regina Marie Mills, Coster shares her views about the post-soul aesthetic, her MFA experience as a woman of color, and how being Black and Latina informs interiority and loss in her writing.
