Resurrecting the Bones: Born from a Journey through African American Churches & Cemeteries in the Rural South, White Jacinta V.

Jacinta V. Whites Resurrecting The Bones will not let southern African American history be silenced by re-zoning, gentrification, and useful forgetfulness. Whites poems are Dr. Sheila Smith McKoys limbo time in action. Each poem is a personal and historical guide through the richness and fullness of black southern culture and the mighty black church. Whites language is hard-hitting, tender, and cosmic. Her images are sharp and unforgettable. The poems are narrative with a lyrical pulse that pulls the reader deeper into the rural landscape. A must read. --Tyree Daye
