by Jo Evans Lynn (Author)

Anthems from a Black Woman is about living and growing in the realities of being a Black woman in the South. Every poem invites the readers to share the poet's journey through an elegant blend of poetic storytelling and poetic rhythms. Each poem speaks of a state of being, though shared in some respects with women of all races and religions, is unique to Black women in more ways than other people can imagine. Lynn sees the world through a lens of spiritual faith fostered by growing up in a Pentecostal church and framed by childhood and young adulthood in the Colored neighborhoods and segregated North Carolina schools. In every poem, whether serious or humorous. Jo Evans Lynn affirms the power of faith, humor, and love to overcome.
