""A love letter to Black women that pulls you close and gently coaxes you open in one piece while weaving you back together in the next. Both musing and meditation, this collection wields rhythm and breath in a way that demands witness and pause. Mesmerizing."" - Yolanda Marie ""Backbone Black Bone Woman is a harvest."" - Michael J. Ivory Jr.
