From the Flutes of Our Bones

Poems

Beschreibung

"In her new collection, Mary Moore Easter opens the door on black worlds--home ground to some, less familiar to others--adjusting her register to the mood and subject at hand. In some poems she reacts with fury to the American political system, while in others she reflects on the richness of her heritage and depicts episodes in a life punctuated by personal loss and sustained by the renewal of love. Whether the mood is pensive, exuberant, or outraged, Easter's poems offer us glimpses of black culture burnished with a fresh eye, replacing time-worn stereotypes with lived experience, wit, and craft."--Page 4 of cover.
