Current ProjectsAfropop Blog
Click here to link to a piece of mine on the Afropop Blog about songs women in Korhogo have written about the conflict in Ivory Coast. You will also be able to hear one of the songs. The PRNDIs were announced on June 24 and my radio piece "Ivory Coast: Election Day" won a First Place PRNDI for Best Writing. PRNDIs are national awards given out by the NPR News Directors association for original content produced by local NPR stations. RADIO INTERVIEWSI guest hosted Illinois Public Media's morning interview program in late September and early October. Topics ranged from poverty in America to the real George W. Bush to citizenship for black women to the conception of the night in early modern Europe.
Links to some of the interviews are below: In July 2013 I will be teaching a week-long creative nonfiction workshop called The Allure of the Actual (July 14-19) and a weekend workshop that focuses on writing a nonfiction book called Nonfiction GPS Camp (July 13-14).
Check out the Iowa Summer Writing Festival website or Facebook page for more information. And if you are interested, sign up to receive the catalog. There are many wonderful classes and I'm looking forward to teaching there again. One Village Votes (But Their Votes Were Thrown Out!)
