Volume Three: Chapter Fifteen - Our Conversation with Dara Kalima (Part Two)
Manage episode 300556767 series 2913302
In Volume Three: Chapter Fifteen, we welcomed Poet, Spoken Word Artist, Actress and Author of the Book Still Laughin', Dara Kalima for part two of our conversation. Young Dara, the loud and proud Bronx resident, was introduced to poetry and story writing around the age of nine. She even shared her first short story to her 4th grade class for story hour. But it was at 16 that she started to really acknowledge and honor her artistic inclinations. She became a founding member of a local youth theater and simultaneously started writing poetry on a monthly basis. She obtained her BA in Literature with a concentration in Drama Studies. At 25, after losing her only sister to breast cancer, Dara began honing her craft as poet, exploring life post her profound loss and essentially worked out her grief on pages and stages. She later pursued her MA in Educational Theater and also received her MPA in Nonprofit Administration. Though unofficially studying under Natalie Goldberg for over two decades, Dara officially began being guided by her as of 2019. Dara is inspired by the works of Allen Ginsberg, TS Eliot, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, Sonia Sanchez, Saul Williams and Staceyann Chin.
