Reviews

“While I have the Great Book in my home—I am a Black woman of a certain age—I reach for Toni, Gloria, Cooper, and Tina far more often than I do Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. In I Know What The Red Clay Looks Like, Rebecca Carroll treats these Black women as writers of canonical texts of elegiastic importance. In their own words and through their words, they offer comfort, guidance, and tradition.” —Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Thick: And Other Essays
