AMERICA’S FAVORITE POOR GAL
The passion project of a lifetime. Together with my colleague Emily Cohen, I am producing, directing, and writing a documentary film and podcast about a tune that has made an unprecedented integration into American culture. Check out our trailer, above, and visit our website for more information about Li’l Liza Jane: The Story of America Through the History of a Song.
Please note that I recently published Poor Gal: The Cultural History of Little Liza Jane with University Press of Mississippi. Poor Gal has been the recipient of a 2024 Deems Taylor / Virgil Thomson Special Recognition Award from the ASCAP Foundation. You can visit the Poor Gal page of my website or the publisher’s page for more information.
