Mom. Playwright.

Poet, Momplaywright

Today is a historic day in the United States and for that matter, the world. On this inauguration day of President-elect Barack Obama, after he takes his oath of office, after he gives his highly anticipated speech, the world will hear from Elizabeth Alexander— poet, essayist and momplaywright (Diva Studies). In these weeks since being selected by Obama to compose and read a poem for the occasion, this mom of a nine year-old and ten year-old (boys) has been, in her spare time, crafting her words and preparing to share her gift that will unveiled today.

So when you tune in for the amazing and historic inaugural event at noon, be sure to hang around to hear from and salute a momplaywright. There’s so much of significance today worth noting.

Happy New Year!

The holidays are a glad wrap, and I’m ready to get on with 2009. In the wee hours of this morning I’ve written and just submitted (on deadline) a 10-minute play for a June production consideration. Not a bad way for a mom playwright to kick off the year, though I feel I’m going to pay for the “all-nighter” later today. If anything happens with it, you’ll hear the news here first.

How are you planning to exert your playwriting power this year? Let’s make like Nike and ‘Just Do It’!
