Description
In this chapbook Glenis honors Harriet Tubman (conductor of the underground railroad), Harriet E. Wilson (first black woman novelist), Harriet Jacobs (abolitionist), Harriet Powers (quilter), Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer and Simbi (water spirit). "The Three Harriets & Others reimagine the agency and ancestral urgency of Black foremothers. Glenis Redmond raises her/their voices with fierce unflinching and unapologetic poetics. These poems offer an ancient, unshackled breath that allows them to "Spill ink like night clouds that clot what your soul cannot hold."
