Description: Women from Louisiana have a reputation of being exceptional cooks; showing their love for family and friends with the delicious, savory meals they concoct. Furaha Youngblood (Cat-Eyed Woman From Louisiana) continues this tradition, but in a slightly different way. Her desire to nourish those she loves is also demonstrated in the literary works that she creates.
In A Pinch of Poetry, A Dash of Drama, a Scoop of Short Stories to Nourish the Mind and Heart, Youngblood demonstrates versatility and maturity in the poems that range from erotic romance, to drama that reflects the ordinary lives of African Americans, and short stories that hold the attention of readers, many of whom measure time in texting.
