Poetry. African American Studies. "These revelatory stanzas--deftly and lovingly crafted by a fierce poet at the peak of her powers--are both defiant and threaded with homespun wisdom. Here you'll find tales of family, chronicles of triumph and heartbreak, even an elusive mysticism touching down in unexpected places, as lyrical and soothing as psalms"--Patricia Smith.
