[PREORDER] When We Exhale: An Anthology of Black Women Rooted In Ancestral Medicine
When We Exhale: An Anthology of Black Women rooted in ancestral medicine. With over fifty submissions from Women of the African Diaspora, healers, storytellers, educators, and activists. This collection of poems, essays, meditations, recipes, and short stories from reflects on rest, grief, and intimacy. Edited by Alie Jones, Danielle Mason, and Janae Newsom.
A collage of sorts that both reclaims and basks in its own careful lyric and narrative. What we have in When We Exhale is a ritual and “a return of eden”; exigence through a bleeding sun; an incantation to sustain and then some; memory and the tongues way of rendering it through scattered milkweeds. What a recollection and projection within these pages.
-Daniel B. Summerhill, Author of Divine, Divine, Divine & Mausoleum of Flowers
