About this book

Poetry. African American Studies. These poems speak to us with voices borrowed from the pages of novels of Alice Walker Jean Toomer and Toni Morrisonvoices that still have more to say things to discuss. Each struggles beneath a yoke of dreaming loving and suffering. These characters converse not just with the reader but also with each other talking amongst themselves offering up their secrets and hard-won words of wisdom an everlasting conversation through which these poems voice a shared human experience.
