Redbone by Mahogany L Browne
Poetry. African & African American Studies. Edited by Randall Horton. Nominated for an NACP Image Award. What I may love most about REDBONE is the way it strains--formally, with syntax and diction, with voice and perspective, searching for the right space on the page--to make of this complex family story--which, like most family stories, is made of sweetness and plain old hurt--a kind of bearable song. It's such a moving act. Such a caring and true telling. Such a singing.--Ross Gay
