Tiana has a pocketful of words: green words like spring, night words like moon, and words with wings, like angel.

The paired poems reflect Tiana's lively spirit and urban outlook and are showcased in Javaka Steptoe's inventive collages, which include a wide range of materials, from faucet handles to pumpkin seeds to a hand-sculpted, gilded alphabet.
