Also Dark is a celebration of one woman's quirks and qualities: Dark Skin, Dark Humor, Dark Nights; about coming of age late in life; and how she fell in love with the at least seven solid voices in her head, including the one that tells her the beautiful truth- that is, sometimes, Also Dark. This full-length collection of poems is about hope and despair; about a life well-lived, danced, and limped through; about light and how that isn't the opposite of Blackness, nor is all the many shades of gray; and about wanting a love story so deeply, you write your own. The author thinks of this project as a series of conversations with the person reading it and the poems being read; she's probably going to tell you what you need but not exactly what you want.
