The gospel of barbecue

Poetry

Honorée Fanonne Jeffers

Print type: BOOK

Description:

The gospel of barbecue is a fine fire, a brilliance moving with swaying choir robes in a harmony of pain lived to sweetness. In poems that touch the most tender and open parts of the ancestral stream of what it is to be African and woman and southern in this America, Honoree Jeffers delivers song, sermon, and supplication. This is the opening solo of a voice in the widest range, a voice that will light and lead the way.
