Any Proper Weave by Allison Joseph
Joseph is one of our most circumspect poets, even as she takes up our most nettlesome issues. Her work is profoundly humanistic - but she seems wary of the impulse to assume a position of moral superiority . . . but her tonal poise and patience evoke a person who lives among and close by the hurts and blunders even as she critiques them. An articulate participant within the court of public opinion, she does not stand to the side and carp.
-Ron Slate, On the Seawall
The author offers readers a window into the Black experience. Her free form poetry is replete with paradox and her descriptions of personal experiences and observations about life are often graphic and can be uncomfortable to read. Her writing style serves a purpose, though, to shed light on the ugly reality of life. Very thought-provoking and eye-opening
