In Spirits of The Ancestors, Jeanean Gibbs has folded together the past, present and future. Like a parent teaching an expectant child, she has reached up to gather the stars and constellations of our universal history and brought them close to be felt, explored and wondered at by us. With each poem in this collection she takes us through moments that we have all experienced, but never stopped long enough to clarify and ponder. So it is with a laugh of recognition, a twinge or regret, and a throb of pain once long forgotten that we read many of these poems. She covers the breadth of human experience, and as you read this collection, from the homages to our ancestors to the cry of modern man in a high tech society, you will find a true poet's clear and present vision of our lives. Bravo to Jeanean, and may she continue to share her gift with us. Karen Evans President, Black Women Playwrights __________________________________________ Spirits of the Ancestors has given new meaning to the word achievement, because in it' even the reader is able to achieve something very personal. That something begins with a greater understanding of his or her place in the world and encompasses new hopes and dreams. To me poetry is a living thing. I think that each person experiences it differently, bringing to it an individual energy, empathy, memory or hope. It can lift you up, making your spirits soar, or bring you down to the plane of reality. Spirits of the Ancestors is recommended reading for pleasure, for rejuvenation of the spirit, and for classes in contemporary literature, because it has a message applicable for each of these situations and more. Jeanean, you are a truly gifted sister, and I am proud of you, more so because I can call you my friend. Stella S. Gomes, Ph. D. Assistant Professor Howard University School of Education

The 1619 Project’s lyrical picture book in verse chronicles the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States, thoughtfully rendered by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author Renée Watson. A young student receives a family tree assignment in school, but she can only trace back three generations. Grandma gathers the whole family, and the student learns that 400 years ago, in 1619, their ancestors were stolen and brought to America by white slave traders. But before that, they had a home, a land, a language. She learns how the people said to be born on the water survived. And the people planted dreams and hope, willed themselves to keep living, living. And the people learned new words for love for friend for family for joy for grow for home. With powerful verse and striking illustrations by Nikkolas Smith, Born on the Water provides a pathway for readers of all ages to reflect on the origins of American identity.

Pursued through poetic pastures of faith, love, and time by an Omuhimba muse who alternately challenges and enchants him, D. Stevenson presents Ancestors and Other Visitors, a poetry anthology that is as sweepingly existential as it is personal and as sagely simple as it is complex. An immigrant, artist and spoken wordsmith observing the world through a traveler soul, Stevenson journeys through time and literary style to pay homage to influence such as e.e. cummings, W.B. Yeats and Robert Hayden in a wonderfully intimate selection of poems. Set primarily in Windhoek, Namibia, Stevenson’s home of 37 years, Ancestors is at once a musing on self, surroundings and the local artists who inflame his imagination: a young Namibian painter, a dance troupe that inspired ‘Arc magnificent’ and ‘Unseen’, with original ballet, and the assorted upcoming poets who fees his passion and whose stage he shares. Offering up exposition as well as desperate, imagined and curious conversations. Ancestors is a welcome and unprecedented addition to the Namibian poetry landscape.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.
