This episode features our conversations with Tricia Elam Walker
(adult fiction. children's books. plays. short stories. essays.) from Episode Four, Tara Betts (poetry) from Episode Five, and Toni Ann Johnson
(literary fiction--novel. short story.) from Episode Eight - all from Season Three.
We wanted an opportunity to examine how some of our guests approach craft and constructing worlds within specific literary genres. Tricia, Tara, and Toni Ann are not only writers who have written for various platforms and diverse audiences, they are each college educators. So talking with folks who demystify the craft for today’s emerging writers was definitely a way that we wanted to celebrate Black History Month this time around. They each offer unique perspectives on devising characters, exploring and challenging their own genres, and more importantly, examine an African-American experience.
