She Is Black

About the Book

A first-time collaboration between African-American poet Jay Blackwell and author of creative nonfiction El Shaddai Gebreyes, this multi-genre collection is a meditation on faith, love and identity. With passion, each vivid thread is woven together to create a dynamic tapestry. On the face of it, the words transform into captivating images. Examining the back of this tapestry - i.e., looking beyond the outward presentation – you will see two souls traversing oceans. Grateful for each breath above the waters and attentive to each cry below, the writers encourage you to journey to the point where you find she in he and He in she.
