Grimoire / Cherene Sherrard. by Sherrard-Johnson, Cherene, 1973- author. Pittsburgh, PA : Autumn House Press, [2020] Subjects African American mothers -- Poetry.   Motherhood -- Poetry.   American poetry -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781938769603 (paperback) 1938769600 (paperback) Description:  xi, 67 pages ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Named after a magical textbook, Cherene Sherrard's Grimoire is a poetry collection centered on the recovery and preservation of ancestral knowledge and on the exploration of black motherhood. Incorporating experiences of food preparation, childrearing, and childbearing, the book begins with a section of poems that re-imagine recipes from one of the earliest cookbooks by an African-American woman: Mrs. Malinda Russell's A Domestic Cookbook. Mrs. Russell's voice as a nineteenth-century chef is joined in conversation with a contemporary amateur cook in poetic recipes that take the form of soft and formal sonnets, introspective and historical lyric, and found poems. In the second section, the poet explores black maternal death and the harrowing circumstances surrounding birth for women of color in the United States. Throughout Grimoire, Sherrard explores the precarity of black mothering over the last two centuries and the creative and ingenious modes of human survival."--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 811.6 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList
