The tongue Sheree Renée Thomas dreams in is soft and sharp, ethereal and down-home.
This
book of poems, stories, and essays draws together examples illustrating
a mind immersed in Black legends and white myths, and in the growing
realization of our place in the world and time, and in irresistible pull
of the future: starships, floods, dancers twinned by crystal-filled
caverns, and iridescent crops of living retribution. In her interview,
Thomas explores the intricate intersections of poetry and activism and
underscores the way she inhabits them. Taste with this book’s tongue the
salty sweetness of her world.
