Tisa Bryant
13 books52 followersTisa Bryant’s work often traverses the boundaries of genre, culture and history, creating multi-layered texts that demand new forms.
Her first book, Unexplained Presence (Leon Works, 2007), is a collection of original, hybrid essays that remix narratives from Eurocentric film, literature and visual arts and zoom in on the black presences operating within them. In her introduction to Bryant’s recent reading, Stacy Szymaszek, director of the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church in New York, said, “Like the great Edouard Glissant, her work is at once novel, essay and poetry, these modulations emerging and transmuting in a practice Bryant's latest publication, a collaborative volume with author/filmmaker Chris Kraus for the Belladonna Elders Series, contains an excerpt from her next novel, [the curator], a rumination on cinema and a black woman's ways of seeing.
Bryant maintains an active engagement with visual arts and literary community as a founding editor/publisher of the cross-genre hardcover annual, The Encyclopedia Project, and as faculty in the MFA Writing Program at the California Institute of the Arts.
