Mud Cloth Roots
by V.S. Chochezi and Staajabu

Celebrating their 25th anniversary as Straight Out Scribes, the mother/daughter dynamic poetry duo offers this collection of poems that spans a decade of their writing. As with most of their previous collections, the poems address topics on a variety of subjects including everyday observations, the ever popular topics of love and environmental concerns, appreciation for family and tributes to notables such as the late Chinua Achebe, Dr. Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Catlett, and Miles Davis. Dive in, take the journey, and experience two generations of thought-provoking, sometimes jarring, other times soothing, truly enjoyable poetry.
