Poet Staceyann Chin on her Journey to See Herself as a Poet Worthy of an Anthology Laura Flanders and Friends

Award-winning poet, performer, novelist, and activist Staceyann Chin has just published her first anthology of poems.  In this episode, Laura interviews Award-winning poet, performer, novelist, and activist Stacyann Chin about her long awaited anthology, Crossfire, and her relationship to a cannon dominated by white men. Despite her success, Chin says that until recently she didn't see herself as a real poet, a poet worthy of an anthology, because her work centers her experiences as a lesbian and a Jamaican national of mixed Chinese and African descent.
