My forthcoming poetry chapbook, Playing One on TV, was written five years ago, as part of National Poetry Writing Month's challenge to write a poem a day throughout the month of April. I chose to write about a different female TV character each day, as a sort of prompt so I wouldn't have trouble coming up with ideas for poems. I recently pulled the manuscript out for editing and saw several race and feminist threads that helped the book develop beyond its original prompt into a fleshed out, multi-dimensional work. It's a fun, nostalgic read, but it also thematically addresses important topics surrounding race and girlhood and womanhood.
