Description

Through elegiac verse that honors her mother and tells of her own fraught childhood, Natasha Trethewey confronts the racial legacy of her native Deep South — where one of the first black regiments, the Louisiana Native Guards, was called into service during the Civil War.
Trethewey’s resonant and beguiling collection is a haunting conversation between personal experience and national his.
