description: The fifth collection by this award-winning African-American writer features sharply imaged verse that calls up a multitude of images from black culture and history, but which seems centered on the experience of everyday people in ordinary settings. "Yeast Rolls and Water Biscuits," "Turkey Necks and Crowder Peas," "Juchitech Market Woman," "B&amp;O RR. Mount Royal Station Recap," and "December 1, 1955: Before Rosa Altered History," are but a few of the poems in this collection, many of which have previously appeared in literary reviews and poetry magazines.
