A poetic exploration of the American South as utopia and dystopia, delving into race, gender, and blood through blues-inspired verses.
Now, in Red Clay Suite , Jeffers approaches the southern landscape as utopia and dystopia—a crossroads of race, gender, and blood. These poems signal the ending movement of her crossroads blues and complete the last four “bars” of a blues song, resting on the final, and essential, note of resolution and reconciliation. ... Honorée Fanonne Jeffers was born in 1967 and grew up in Durham, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia.
