BREAKDOWN: The Poet & The Poems S2E2 – JP Howard

Описание: BREAKDOWN: The Poet & The Poems, Season 2, Episode 2, hosted by Tamara J. Madison, features poet JP Howard (bio below) discussing her collection, Say/Mirror (The Operating System Press). This episode is part of a limited edition series discussing "lineage literature," poets who are writing about or directly inspired by their own personal family lineage. JP lovingly and courageously discusses her relationship with her mother, who was at one time a well-known model in Harlem.

BREAKDOWN: The Poet & The Poems is a conversation series to spread awareness of poets and their poetry as inspiration and motivation for our everyday life journeys. The conversations are for poets and non-poets, writers, readers, spoken word artists, students/fans of poetry, and anyone looking for a little "soul food."

This opportunity is made possible through the Literary Arts Projects, a program of South Arts. CHECK OUT THE FULL EPISODE ON THIS CHANNEL!
