Charan P. Morris is a poet / performer / educator transplanted from Chicago to New York.  Poetry takes its rightful place in her life--neck and neck with teaching.  She has featured in the  2008 Black Women's Arts Festival in Philly and in the Washington DC's Poetry Festival.  In NYC she has featured at venues such as the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, the Bowery Poetry Club, The Ashford & Simpson's Sugar Bar, and others.  

Her work fuels public dialogue around the parasitic nature of racism by revealing the ways in which it weaves itself into the fabric of her family and personal histories.  Of course sometimes her work is just about being human.
