This week in ENC 1102, we begin our study of August Wilson's "Fences" — one of the most celebrated works in 20th-century American drama and a cornerstone of Wilson's ten-part "Pittsburgh Cycle." Through rich dialogue and deeply complex characters, "Fences" explores themes of family, responsibility, racial barriers, generational conflict, deferred dreams, and the promises and limitations of the American Dream. In burlesque, the art isn't in what comes off. It's in the timing. The tease. What is revealed. And How. This week in ENC 1102, we're stepping into the world of drama — and I couldn't be more excited about our first read. And not just because it winks at my trademark response "TRIFLING." Poetry taught me how to listen. How to strip a sentence down to what it actually means. How to connect with the visceral sensory details. That discipline is in every page of my fiction, too — every chapter started as a question I couldn't answer any other way. Loves! You've seen that we are officially in #australia and on #amazon and #barnesandnoble. But this might be my favorite "Praise God for Pasties" As-Seen-In-The-Wild internet discovery. Welcome to #japan, where you can order your copy of the novel and your very own set of pasties! 😂 Some scenes don't come easy. You have to sit with what's uncomfortable — to write into the silence, the tension, the things we'd rather look away from. That's where the real story lives. One of my favorite quotes about writing is credited to Ernest Hemingway. This week in ENC1102 at @nwfstatecollege: poetry analysis! 📝✨ "Not all who wander are lost. This was me. Purple fringe, fishnets, red lips, and a stage name nobody in my day job knew about. Even in this modern age of independence in art - particularly when it comes to self-publishing - I imagine it is still so astounding for any author to see their name and title placed among the major retailers available to shop for books. So, imagine my shock and surprise to see PGFP AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW AT @barnesandnoble!!!!! Between @lindaholmes97 and @jennyhollander ... that's where "Praise God for Pasties" is gonna live. It won't be long now. TONIGHT! See you in about an hour for ✨Poetry at the Pub✨
