DESCRIPTION:
The imagery in these poems rips through to the reader with a freshness that comes only from a poet who knows the terrain of the subconscious Bravo.”—Afaa Michael Weaver. “Lighting the Shadow is a unique embodiment of the unseen space between language and spirit
These poems explore the international and psychological wars women survive—wars inflicted through various mediums that employ art, race, and literature. Pulling the poet away from death, these poems insist that she open her life to her own powers and the powers of a greater world—a world that is both bright and dark.. Lighting the Shadow is about a woman’s evolving journey through desire, grief, trauma, and the peculiar historical American psyche of desire and violence. Furthermore, the collection is about a woman’s transformation and acceptance of her complicated attempts to balance her spirit’s own spectrum
