The Story Behind the Poetry Book
In My Mother's Voice: The Legacy
​
A book of timeless poetry encapsulated in the 70's, yet spoken as if they were born (written) yesterday...
​
A young, African American woman unleashed her creativity when she put pen to paper shortly after the 1968 riots. After submitting her poetry to Essence Magazine and receiving a rejection letter, her creative voice was silenced and the beautiful poetry contained herein this book would not be discovered until after her death in 2020, more than forty years later.
​
"It was a bittersweet moment that left me awestruck when after her passing I discovered these beautiful hidden gems while packing her belongings, and while it left me with a deep sense of sadness knowing that she never felt compelled to share her gift of poetry with her family, I also experienced heartfelt joy at discovering my mother's hidden talent and knowing that I had inherited this amazing talent from her."
It is my hope that you enjoy her poetry as much as I did when I discovered this hidden treasure-trove of poetry.
