presenting evidence that God still loves women and writers

“In Kin: Practically True Stories, V Efua Prince has woven a complex, painful, and powerful tapestry of stories, poetry, theatrical script, song, and journalistic accounts about African American history, presence, and being. The voices in this collection are an upswelling and uprising across the centuries and, like the Furies, demand we listen to their accounts of brutality and violence, of motherhood and fatherhood, of bodies in pain and in healing. Prince has assembled an imaginative, practically true, terribly true, and wondrously true collective. Listen, and listen again.”
