Redbone Poems

Poetry. African & African American Studies. Edited by Randall Horton. Nominated for an NAACP 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
