Black Women Writers Symposium: doris davenport
A reading and conversation with doris davenport at the Black Women Writers Symposium at Berea College on Friday, October 21st, 2016.
From doris: “As an undergraduate, around 1968, i first wrote my name in all lower case letters, as well as the word “i.” (Both had to do with a poetic stance against egoism and the influence of the Black Arts Movement.) Similarly, at a time before time, in our magical community on a hill in Cornelia GA, i totally identified as “Affrilachian” before the wonderful creation of that term. Working against all the isms for all my life, i use caustic humor, satire and hyperbole to achieve my (artistic and activist) ends. i am a 67 year old Scholar-Educator / Writer / Performance Poet; a lesbian-feminist bi-amorous anarchist; working class iconoclast from Northeast GA; with a BA in English from Paine College and a Ph.D. (African American literature; University of Southern California).”
The symposium–the first of its kind in the region–brought together legendary African American Women Writers around the theme of “Writing the Natural World, Appalachia & Beyond,” and included readings, conversations, film and music.
The symposium was organized by Crystal Wilkinson, and featured Joan Brannon; bell hooks; Carolyn Finney; Bianca Spriggs; doris davenport; Juyanne James; Kristine Yohe; Xandria Phillips; and Amethyst Kiah.
