Today we welcome poet Mia Wright for a conversation about Voice. A Tulsa native, Mia is a poet, editor, educator, and mother who earned her MFA in Poetry from Boise State University.

Her poems have appeared in The Girl God, Word Riot, This Land, Watershed, J'Parle', and Q/A Poetry.

She was a finalist for the 2004 Grolier Poetry Prize, co-editor of the feminist zine Sisterspeak, and on of the producers of Colorline--a four-part arts project on racial segregation in Tulsa, which took place in May 2016.

Wright is the author of three poetry chapbooks, and she won Oklahoma Louder Than a Bomb's Coach of the Year Award in 2014 for her work with the slam team she founded at Street School, where she taught English for several years.
