Published by Firebrand Books in 1989,  my third book of poetry, Humid Pitch: Narrative Poetry plumbs the depths of black women’s blues souls, as Audre Lorde said of my , to reveal “the difficult, juicy moment, the questions of difference  [and the] acute highlights along a journey traveled with resolve, pain, and joy.”  Women of color, triumphant lesbians, ambivalent men, slave women, and the children who survive childhood are given expression. https://www.abebooks.com/20clarke&sts.
