Small Spaces, 2021

 Item

It was my goal when writing these essays to provide insight especially into navigating one's early- to mid-twenties while suffering...

Something like prayer, 2015

 Item
Identifier: cw_2015spring_ziegler_owen.pdf
Overview

"What is more important: being good or trying to be? The characters in these 10 stories struggle with that question one way or another as the systems they either willingly choose or are forced into push down on them even further. Family, religion and community can all empower people to rise above their current standings, but these stories explore what happens when the dynamic moves in the other direction. At what point does individual desire trump safety and surety?" --Abstract.

Overview "Porsha Olayiwola's 'Song, 1859' is a collection of poems that explore the Black American diaspora, water, and queer womyn intimacy.
