Poetry. African & African American Studies, Women's Studies. LGBT Studies. THE HILARY THAM CAPITAL COLLECTION. Cheryl Clarke's long-awaited fifth poetry collection travels the political and spiritual trails of her many commitments--to social justice, to women of color, to the LGBTQ community, and to the rage, love, and song that live in each reader.

J. L. Winters, daughter of the Block Elder--but is certainly a threshold for all."
