Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Intimate and sweeping poetry that examines race and lineageRoom Swept Home serves as a gloriously rendered magnifying glass into all that is held in the line between the private and public, the investigative and generative, the self and those who came before us. In a strange twist of kismet, two of Bingham-Risher's ancestors intersect in Petersburg, Virginia, forty years before she herself is born: her paternal great-great-great grandmother, Minnie Lee Fowlkes, is interviewed for the Works Progress Administration Slave Narratives in Petersburg in 1937, and her maternal grandmother, Mary Knight, is sent to Petersburg in 1941, diagnosed with "water on the brain"postpartum depression being an ongoing mysterynine days after birthing her first child. Marrying meticulous archival research with Womanist scholarship and her hallmark lyrical precision, Bingham-Risher's latest collection treads the murky waters of race, lineage, faith, mental health, women's rights, and the violent reckoning that inhabits the discrepancy between lived versus textbook history, asking: What do we inherit when trauma is at the core of our fractured living?[sample poem]XI. the more ground covered, the more liberated you becameI am scared my mind will turn on me.I am scared I will be naked in a burninghouse. I am scared my children won't outpace me.I am scared my children (who aren't made by me)believe I am a sad imitation of the others.I am scared I will gather in a roomwhere everyone will ask me to rememberand when I don't lie they'll say I'd hate to be you.I've lived long enough to be scared my kidneyswill give out on me. I've lived long enough to know justwhen they should. I have never shared my fearswith anyone; I am scared they will map the landand take liberties. Will the women be ashamed?I'm scared to ask. What will live again? What will die with me? "Poetry exploring the impacts of family bonds through enslavement and institutionalization in the stories of three generations of women, examining race and lineage, and asking: What do we inherit at the core of our fractured living?"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
