She promotes creative-mindedness—believing that visual, performing, and literary arts can change the way we think about some of life’s most important questions. A writer of plays, poetry, prose, essays and creative non-fiction, Clinnesha has received numerous awards including the Holland New Voices Award, the Arkansas Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship, and the Mississippi Theatre Association Adult Playwriting Award. Her writing has also appeared in national literary journals, anthologies, and various publications and anthologies including Feels Blind Literary, Quince Magazine, In Full Color, Black Masks Magazine, and Muzzle Magazine.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">Clinnesha committed to training exclusively as a playwright while attending Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi. As an Interdisciplinary Career Oriented Humanities major, she learned to focus inward—exploring identity, psyche, and the human condition. It was at this historically black college that Clinnesha also learned the connection between social activism and artistic practice. She received her M.F.A. in Theatre (Playwriting) from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville becoming the first African-American to earn such a degree from that institution. Her plays have been called feminist, protest, political, southern, and circular.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">After teaching on the college/university level for many years, Clinnesha decided to move into secondary residential education, and is currently the Literary Arts Instructor at Mississippi School of the Arts where she teaches young writers to become socially-engaged artists. Clinnesha is married to her high school sweetheart, Keith Sibley, and they have three children: Kaylee, Karlee, and Keith Jr.</p> <br /><p><a href="http://yourartsygirlpodcast.com/episodes" target="_blank">Check out my first episode!</a></p>Cristina Querrerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15590986769200328765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176266497176118660.post-90676980854949475522020-08-12T16:11:00.002-04:002020-08-12T16:16:56.971-04:00Episode 59: Dominique M.

<em>The poems in this collection are inspired by the ways in which gender (and sometimes other divisions) creates opportunities for both victimization and survival. A theme woven throughout is the tension between being objectified and being human. There are three sections. The first section is organized around the idea of the stereotype of the living doll, and rebellion against that concept. The middle section, an ekphrastic section, is inspired by the life and the nutshell studies, crime model constructions, of Frances Glessner Lee, "mother of modern forensics," and includes some black and white images that are in the public domain. The third section, which includes the title poem, focuses more fully on the negative effects of objectified existences.</em><br />

<strong><em>Enemy Bridge</em></strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px; text-align: right;">
My enemies will someday hold their dying mother in their arms,<br />
and their crooked hole of a mouth<br />
screaming anguished into the air above<br />
will become my next breath.<br />
We will share the same chorus of pain,<br />
the secret song that unites us all,<br />
a universal refrain that asks us to<br />
bless this world for its suffering<br />
for it’s the only thing that builds the bridge of empathy.</div>

<strong><em>Shell</em></strong></div>

<br />
Holding the shell of the man he used to be to my ear,<br />
his tidal voice crashed ashore,<br />
calling me to watch a nest of turtles<br />
break free from their sandy womb, frantic<br />
to find their ocean mother;<br />
a race from first breath to moonlit waves.<br />
I will remember you this way,<br />
I promised.</div>

I'm back in effect, and this week, I am featuring, Filipinx poet, Ina Cariño. We discuss her work and her future plans and how she is holding up during this Coronavirus pandemic.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
Note: I will be discussing how other writers/poets/artists and creatives are dealing with creating during these times.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Bio</b>: Born in the Philippines, Ina Cariño is a queer Filipinx-American writer. She holds an MFA in creative writing from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC, and is a 2019 Kundiman Fellow. Her work appears in Waxwing, New England Review, The Oxford Review of Books, Tupelo Quarterly, and VIDA Review, among other journals. In 2019, Ina founded a reading series in the Triangle area of NC called Indigena, which centers marginalized voices, including but not limited to those of BIPOC, QTPOC, and people with disabilities. Through her writing, Ina explores the navigation of being American as a brown body, and the deeply impactful effects of living in the diaspora. She hopes to find paths to not just justice, but also to healing of self and community.</span></div>

when I cook rice</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
it is because hunger is not just</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
an emptiness</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
but a longing for multo:</div>
<div class="last-line" style="padding-left: 40px;">
the dead who no longer linger</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
two fingers in water</div>

homely sprinkle of husks</div>

trickling mounds</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
scattered on wood —</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
my dead lolo in compression socks</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
my dead lola in red slippers scuffing</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
& a slew of yesterday’s titos & titas</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
their voices traveling to me</div>

tinny ringing</div>

<em>familiar</em> just</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
what it sounds like</div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">

<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
after enough time has passed</div>
<div class="last-line" style="padding-left: 40px;">
