Description
A lyrical and deeply personal collection, this volume explores the bonds between teachers and students, elders and descendants, lovers and friends. With characteristic warmth, candor, wit, and musicality, the poems reflect on Black identity, womanhood, family, cultural memory, spirituality, and the responsibilities of love. Drawing on intimate experience as well as the broader currents of history and social change, the collection honors the people and traditions that shape a life while urging readers toward connection, self-knowledge, and active engagement with the world.
