It's Coming...

Have you heard? It's coming.
Gospel: poems. Blossom this spring.

Isn't it time for some good news?

Luminous and deeply shadowed, at times gravely playful, and always intimate, Gospel sings through – and beyond -- ancestral and personal terrains simultaneously mysterious and revealed, to achieve a richness that is both exhilarating and sublime. Here are movements that, through rhythm, language, and light, become exactly what the poet envisions: gospel.
—Thomas Glave, author of The Torturer’s Wife
