| At every corner, down every block, a city bubbles with boys and girls, men and women at work and play: girls jumping double Dutch, the shoeshine man polishing a pair of wing tips, boys on their way to the basketball court. Each neighborhood is filled with unique characters (the beautician, the barber, the short-order cook) and places (the outdoor market, the Laundromat, the storefront churches)--all as familiar as family. In quiet moments and lively street scenes, Carole Boston Weatherford pays tribute to the sights and sounds of urban life in twenty fresh and rhythmic poems. Dimitrea Tokunbo's vivid color palette imbues this wonderful collection with energy and excitement. |
