SUMMARY:Who's Your Daddy: A Dramatic Reading Under the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Published by Augury Books earlier this year\, Who’s Your Daddy is Arisa White’s debut poetic memoir\, which poet Patricia Smith says\, “unreels like heart-wrenching fragments of film.” It is a lyrical\, genre-bending coming-of-age tale featuring a queer\, Black\, Guyanese American woman who\, while seeking to define her own place in the world\, negotiates an estranged relationship with her father. Incorporating poetry and prose\, Who’s Your Daddy employs the motif of stars and constellations to navigate and populate the distance that characterizes this father-daughter dynamic.  Arisa will read excerpts from the book accompanied by original music by José G. Martinez and student vocalists from Colby College. Artistic direction provided by Ellen Sebastian Chang and funding provided by Colby College’s Humanities Research. \n  \n    \n  \nArisa White is an assistant professor of English and Creative Writing at Colby College.
