This is a collection of poetry and a short story from my unique perspective about a range of the usual topics: love, naming, identity, gender violence, motherhood, racism, politics, teaching, solitude, dance, family, loss, and making choices.

Perhaps it is temerity to test my lyrical dexterity with this book of poetry about things that mean the world to me Spirituality Sexuality Aesthetic identity Women who lived audaciously Love, loss, and family Black history Black unity Pop culture's effrontery. I lend my voice to the cacophony because life is rife with tragedy yet brims with possibility. Carla M. Cherry is a mother and a teacher. Her work has appeared in anderbo.com, an online literary journal, and she performed her poem "Black Pearl" on jazz musician Eric McPherson's release Continuum (Small's Records). This is her first book.
