This Month's Special: 

Offerings of Desire by Dr. Kelly Norman Ellis

Offerings of Desire full cover
full cover view

 

"Every stanza in this fierce and formidable collection strikes a sweet, keening note for the

 

colored girl-the front-row-center Sunday morning worshipper, the fast gal craving the jukebox on Saturday night, the grandmama arced over a stove-top staple, the precocious nappy-headed chile tripping the double-dutch line. With Offerings of Desire, Kelly Norman Ellis has graced us all with a gift that is nothing short of a miracle. She has blessed the sisterhood with a soundtrack."

 

Patricia Smith, author of Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah (Coffee House, 2012) and Blood Dazzler, 2008 National Book Award Finalist
