Publisher Description: What a mouthful Rain Gomez's book makes you swallow hard, goes down big easy. I can hear a river of blues in lines like "head high, legs sturdy back stalwart against the rough rub of white faced stares as we roll up to Albertsons." There's lyric, prose, confessional, even a classic seafood gumbo recipe, all laced with memories of the red people of the Southeast. Rain Gomez has proven herself the culinary master of poetry. Her book really cooks -LeAnne Howe, author of Shell Shaker (American Book Award) & Evidence of Red Rain C Gomez's poetry is as multi-dimensioned and multi-nationed as her heritage and her book's title. It doesn't get more American than this. --Geary Hobson, author of Plain of Jars and Other Stories & Last of the Ofos |
