"From Grandmother, With Love (2004).""Yes, God, I'm Listening" (2002),"Broken Hearts Do Heal" (2000), and "Surviving Life Between A Rock and A Very Hard Place" (1988).She most recently recorded a spoken word CD titled, "The Revolution is Not Over."Her works are available in Nashville at Alkebulan Images, Razzmatazz, Borders Books, and Something Beautiful (consult your yellow pages for numbers) and at other bookstores around the country (e.g., Mitchie's in Austin, TX and others).
Presently, Ms. Vincent Clark serves as Director of First-Year Students at Tennessee State University in Nashville.For listeners in the Nashville area, she can be heard on "Freestyle,"a news and entertainment call in talk program (WFSK-88.1 FM, Fisk Radio) on Mondays from 6 until 7 pm (CST).She has worked in Corporate America for the Tennessee Valley Authority (marketing/public relations), Department of Energy contractors in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, as an AmeriCorps Director in Western Kentucky, and at Fort Campbell (KY) as a career counselor.She has taught at Knoxville College, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee State, and Tennessee State.
She is frequently called upon to share her poetry or her insight on career development, self esteem, self-publishing, African American History and women's history, and to perform monologues from various plays she has been in (The Delaney Sisters, A Black Woman Speaks, Spell Number 7, for example).Her original poetry makes you think, makes you move, makes you laugh, and occasionally will make you cry because much of what she writes about she has experienced herself ... and now knows that whatever happens in life you must go on.
