Jeannetta Craigwell-Graham

April 25, 2023

What Time Is It Mr. Wolf? (Literary Fiction/Horror), Copenhagen, DENMARK

What Time Is It Mr. Wolf? is a mythologized account of Craigwell-Graham’s uncle’s struggle with mental illness as a young Black man growing up in Baltimore public housing in the 1950-70s.

“As mental illness in Black communities continues to be underrecognized and underreported, I hope my uncle’s story creates space and conversations to help others.”

Jeannetta Craigwell-Graham is a Caribbean/African-American writer based in Ebeltoft, Denmark. She is a 2021 Tin House Winter Workshop Scholar, Hurston/Wright Writer’s Weekend Summer 2021 participant and placed second in 2023 Lit/South Awards in Fiction. Her writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Indiana Review, X-R-A-Y Magazine, NY Writers Coalition Black Writers Program Journal, Andika Ma, in an Owl Canyon Press anthology. Jeannetta is also the co-host/producer of The Write Attention Podcast, volunteer reader for Huza Press, and one of the founding members of an Aarhus Literature Center writing workshop. She writes stories which use horror themes to explore the harsh realities of being other and is currently working on a novel trilogy incorporating family history and African Diaspora folklore.
