#WomanCentered Christina Springer
I am very honored to be part of this incredible collection of women's voices. #WomanCentered is an independent project by conceptual artist and community organizer, Natasha Marin. Inspired by Women at the Center, a project created with support from the United Nations Foundation Universal Access Project. This series of interviews seeks to tell the inspiring, interconnected stories of women’s reproductive health, rights, and empowerment. Rhino Poetry's new issue has given a home to my poem, "Some Ghosts." The link will take you to a Youtube reading. |
Publications (New)Eyedrum Periodically recently published a piece which has been folded into a new video "A Particular Order. " Read the poem here!

#BlackPoetsSpeakOut came about from a brainstorming session between Amanda Johnston, Mahogany "Mo" Browne, Jonterri Gadson, Jericho Brown, Sherina Rodriguez-Sharpe, & Maya Washington on a Cave Canem Facebook group. Together, they developed a posting strategy. Here is a lovely write up about the project in Radius. Cultural Front was the first website to begin rounding up the tremendous response from Black poets. I performed my poem, "Them Ghosts" which was originally published under the titled "Report From Nottaway Plantation by Fledgling Rag Issue 13.

The Fishermen Have No Nets
Poem/Video by Christina Springer ~ Music by Windafire The Fishermen Have No Nets is both a new beginning and a continuation of my multi-media production "She Diva Died. & Come Again?" It is a continuation because the character SheDreams is still very active and portions of this poem and video are out takes from the final production. It is a new beginning because it is my first true collaboration with Windafire. Step by step, month by day, we exchanged ideas, shared imagery and shaped this video. It is also the first time in a long while I haven't let my vocals drive a piece. She Dreams is also becoming a rather large voice in the new big work entitled Rebrand The Past: Experiments In~Tuition We have some wonderful projects in the studio. So, kindly consider PATREON!
