| Title: | Anthony Grooms: being southern and black |
| Date: | 2002-2006 |
| Description: | Video of writer and arts administrator Anthony "Tony" M. Grooms speaking about being both a southern writer and a black writer. He sits in before a white bookcase and a blue wall on which several paintings hang. He faces forward. Grooms begins by stating that he will always be a southern writer and a black writer because that is indeed what he is. He notes that he does not feel limited by these labels. He asserts that he writes from that perspective because that is the language in which he was trained. Grooms is well known in the Atlanta, Georgia area for his work in organizing arts events and for his support and encouragement of other writers. He is the author of a collection of poetry, Ice Poems (1988), a collection of stories, Trouble No More (1995), and a novel, Bombingham (2001). |
