Title: The Devil's Garden
Description: “Matejka challenges notions of propriety, as if breaking silence on long-held family secrets. . . . A smart and engaging debut.”
—<em>Black Issues Book Review</em>

“Adrian Matejka’s garden breeds a formidable range of voices and explorations, all in one groove, both sensual and evocative of the borders of identity where hoodoo turns to music.”
—<em>Crab Orchard Review</em>

“Using jazz and blues rhythms with telling allusions to Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, and Billie Holiday, Matejka fashions a powerful autobiography in verse….Highly recommended for all larger collections.”
