The History of Southern Women's Literature
Many of America’s foremost, and most beloved, authors are also southern and female: Mary Chesnut, Kate Chopin, Ellen Glasgow, Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, Harper Lee, Maya Angelou, Anne Tyler, Alice Walker, and Lee Smith, to name several. Designating a writer as “southern” if her work reflects the region’s grip on her life, Carolyn Perry and Mary Louise Weaks have produced an invaluable guide to the richly diverse and enduring tradition of southern women’s literature. Their comprehensive history—the first of its kind in a relatively young field—extends from the pioneer woman to the career woman, embracing black and white, poor and privileged, urban and Appalachian perspect...

Red Sun Songs
"As a group, these poems reflect my mindset then and now. The poems are written in a free-verse style and reflect people I have known and things I have experienced. For example, there are two poems dedicated to my daughter Aliya, who is my first-born child and now a grown woman. There is also a series of poems that deal with the death of Frankie Duncan, a young Black man who died while in police custody in Waycross, Georgia. I went to high school with him in the shadows of the Satilla River and the Okefenokee Swamp. In addition, the poems have been influenced by the jazz sounds of John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Miles Davis, Marion Brown, Gary Bartz, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders, Charlie Parker, Eric Dolphy, Sun Ra, Joe Henderson, Patrice Rushen, Herbie Hancock, Lonnie Liston Smith, Joe Henderson, and Eddie Jefferson as well as the jazzoetry of Gil Scott-Heron, Langston Hughes, Amiri Baraka, Haki Madhubuti (aka Don L. Lee), Johari Amini, Sonia Sanchez, Carolyn Rodgers, Mari Evans, Wanda Robinson, Owen Dodson, Michael Harper, and the Last Poets"--From author's preface to the 40th anniversary edition of this work.
