A Portrait - 2011 National Book Awards

In 2011, professor and poet, Nikky Finney won the National Book Award for Poetry. The title of her award winning book is Head Off & Split.

Please take a moment to write a self-portrait in a relational format. Who are you in context of you family, your geographic region and the society you inherited from others?





How does this speech extend our understandings of self-portraits?  

Do we want to discuss how each of these examples help us to envision and generate self-portraits? How do they extend what some of the ideas previously discussed in this introduction to fiction class? Ideas like identity, dialogue and the complex uses of language, uneven power negotiations in society and ect...?  


What imagery and sounds help to punctuate these self-portraits?
