Inspired by The Wiz, this debut, full-length poetry collection celebrates South Side Chicago and a Black womans quest for self-discovery--one that pulls her away from the safety of home and into her power nI Done Clicked My Heels Three Times takes its inspiration and concept from the cult classic film The Wiz to explore a Black womans journey out of the South Side of Chicago and into adulthood. The narrative arc of The Wiz--a tumultuous departure from home, trials designed to reveal new things about the self, and the eventual return home--serves as a loose trajectory for this collection, pulling readers through an abandoned barn, a Wendys drive-thru, a Beyoncé video, Grandmas house, Sunday service, and the corner store. At every stop, the speaker is made to confront her womanhood, her sexuality, the visibility of her body, alcoholism in her family, and various ways in which narratives are imposed on her. n nSubverting monolithic ideas about the South Side of Chicago, and re-casting the city as a living, breathing entity, I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times spans sestinas, sonnets, free-verse, and erasures, all to reimagine the concept of home. Chicago isnt just a city, but a teacher, a lingering shadow, a way of seeing the world.n
