White's Resurrecting The Bones will not let southern African American history be silenced by re-zoning, gentrification, and useful forgetfulness.
White's poems are Dr.
Sheila Smith Mc Koy's limbo time in action.
Each poem is a personal and historical guide through the richness and fullness of black southern culture and the mighty black church.
White's language is hard-hitting, tender, and cosmic.
Her images are sharp and unforgettable.
The poems are narrative with a lyrical pulse that pulls the reader deeper into the rural landscape.
A must read.
