She’s a musician/essayist/poet/mom, and what her one-time astrologer called “a highly conflicted Leo.” She holds a BMus from NYU, a Writing MFA from Columbia University, and identifies as a multi-ethnic WOC. Her writing explores the power of labels, the reactive impetus of art-making, and the American obsession with codification as applies to self and other. Melanie has blogged extensively on the experience of living ambiguously brown, at http://browngirlcleansup.blogspot.com. She is currently shopping a memoir manuscript titled Browngirl Cleans Up, a story of growing up biracial amid alternating social attitudes and rules. Her fantasy literary dinner party guests include Joan Didion, Zora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, Hilton Als, Patti Smith, and Dave Eggers. The next morning, they would all go shoe shopping. https://www.melanierock.com/contact-1-1 daily 0.75 2020-05-13 https://www.melanierock.com/work daily 0.75 2020-05-12 https://www.melanierock.com/work/suzannevega-bgwyw monthly 0.5 2020-05-12 https://www.melanierock.com/work/loveontheroad-xac2n monthly 0.5 2020-05-11 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9f4598f9f8c97306161988/5e9f4804f8e45c4ccb25aa7d/5eaf33e6372ab76cc233b30b/1589207078146/LoveOnTheRoadBanner.jpg Work - Personal Essay: Narratively.com: Love on the Road https://www.melanierock.com/work/chefkymberlywilbon-6c56d monthly 0.5 2020-05-12 https://www.melanierock.com/work/ejeancarroll-36b85 monthly 0.5 2020-05-12 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9f4598f9f8c97306161988/5e9f4804f8e45c4ccb25aa53/5eb96ccdb2acbe6aa4099084/1589210397177/ARCHER%2521.jpg Work - Interview/Book Review: Bustle Magazine: E Jean Carroll's What Do We Need Men For? https://www.melanierock.com/work/summersuptonature-fr7za monthly 0.5 2020-05-12 https://www.melanierock.com/work/danzanes monthly 0.5 2020-05-12 https://www.melanierock.com/work/stevenbernstein-x7bae monthly 0.5 2020-05-12 https://www.melanierock.com/work/poetweetnyc monthly 0.5 2020-05-12 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9f4598f9f8c97306161988/t/5ebae2be00fe7c3639c6d4e2/1589306074472/GardenChurch.jpg Work - Winning Poem: #PoetweetNYC - Winner of the 2018 #POETWEETNYC contest for Earth Day 2018.
