By Her Shelf Podcast is all about introducing readers to books worth reading and people worth following. Each week, you'll get to know one reader based solely on her (or, on occasion, his) shelf--the books she/he reads, writes, or helps bring into the world. Occasionally, By Her Shelf will feature solo episodes from founder and podcast host Erica D. Hearns, topical episodes featuring By Her Shelf Contributors Alex and Christina, or other special bookish content.
Today's guest is Tekira Briscoe. Tekira is a wife, homeschooling mom, and talented poet who recently published her debut poetry collection, Sown in Light. Sown in Light is a captivating collection of poems, stories and experiences that paved the way of Tekira's spiritual journey. In this episode, Tekira and I discuss her rule for books with TV or movie adaptations, how celebrity memoirs are like testimony service, why Tekira's bookshelves don't have books, and of course, Sown in Light. Sit back with your favorite fall beverage and enjoy this conversation with debut author Tekira Briscoe on her poetry collection Sown in Light.

Identify Yourself (Solo Episode)
Which of the many words/attributes that could be used to describe you do you most identify with? What would happen if you realized something you thought defined you went against what you now believe is true? Tune in to hear how one author wrestles with redefining herself in one of my favorite reads of 2021. This was first published as a video for a 75 Live Challenge in January 2023
