Sunday's in the South
On the death of her mother, Vernice, Tamara Martin inherited her collected papers and writings. In the terrible grief, pain and sorrow of her death and funeral, these were put to one side in a box, and stored in a dusty attic. Some years later she rediscovered the box and saw for the first time a forgotten folder of poems. Thus began Tamara?s journey of discovery to full awareness of the creative force that was her Mother. Vernice Quebodeaux?s creativity and talent had been buried beneath the weight of bigotry, indifference, ignorance and intolerance for a lifetime.This unique book, of poems, pictures and memories, is the story of a Mother and Daughter from Louisiana, spanning four generatio...

African Youth in Contemporary Literature and Popular Culture
This book explores how African youth are depicted in contemporary literature and popular culture, and discusses the different ways by which they attempt to construct personal and cultural identities through popular culture and social media outlets. The contributors approach the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective, looking at images in children’s and adolescent literature from Africa, and the African diaspora, from Nollywood and Hollywood movies, from popular magazines, and from youth cultures encountered directly through field experiences. The findings reveal that there are many stereotypes about Africa, African youth and black cultures, and that African youth are aware of these....
Death of an Unvirtuous Woman
To read or hear Suzanne Ondrus's word wizardry granted balladry is to confront a problem as old as Genesis: How does a woman claim her Liberty despite all the law books and their patriarchal, rule-of-thumb malarkey, all the biblical libel against her Sex, and all the he-man chest-thumping? And what is her peril if she does? After all, the most radical phrase in any language is, "I am a free woman." Death of an Unvirtuous Woman, narrating the saga of the rebel Mary Bach and her murderous hubby, Carl, though set in 1881 Ohio, is as relevant as today's headlines-around the world. Certainly, every woman who refuses to be a man's chattel is a pioneer of Liberty! And what can he do to try to stop ...

Swaying on the Elephant's Shoulders
"Swaying on the Elephant's Shoulders" by Diana Woodcock is the winner of the first Vernice Quebodeaux "Pathways" Poetry Prize by Little Red Tree Publishing. It is a wonderful collection of poems expressing a three-fold concern for human rights, refugees and ecology. Each poem captures one of three states of readiness as the narrator is either poised to fly, held back, or drawn to the light. Each poem seeks to lend balance to the universe as it portrays the anguish or the joy of humanity and the pervasive sense of wonder available to us all. These are poems inspired by refugees, people living under communist rule, and fragile cultures and ecosystems on the brink of extinction. This collection, devoted to the threshold where silence and language meet, is an effort to promote worldwide justice and care-taking of the earth. It is a celebration of life, a protest against violence and greed, and an exploration of humanity's relationship with and interdependence upon nature and fellow human beings.
