Description

RISE UP! is a poetry collection that braids the voice of the past, the poems of a grandfather born to slave parents, and poems of the present, those of his granddaughter. Juxtaposed are two hearts linked not only by love, but also by the travesties of racism and slavery and the devastation and waste of war. Although generations apart, they navigate as one the injustices of mankind with hope, grace, and peace, their poems forming an uplifting chorus that decries evil while magnifying divine love as displayed in the beauty of Creation. Each poem reflects the rich legacy of this African American family, and how their writing creates a connection to one another and future generationsNC Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green writes: "These poems are emblematic of the reality that many things that cause strife and sorrow are also the things that cause an uprising in the spirit. The pages of RISE UP! Poems of Protest, Poems of Praise is a metaphorical offering of a wellspring of solidarity that our world needs. These pages help us drink fully of the possibilities of laughter knowing that weeping dehydrates the body; reminding us that we are the water bearers of hope."
