Download Your Mother Was a Panther: Stories in Verse AudioBook Free
Black women aren't a monolith. They are simply a lot of things - beautiful and strange. Through enchanting and musical verse, Mixon offers alternative narratives, origin stories that concern the limited societal views of women whose mere living reaches times a unknown, an amalgam of activities - inherited and normally. An orphan (who is adopted by way of a storm) tries to hold thunder in her oral cavity; a battered grandmother taps into her ancestral forces; an adolescent girl befriends a woman at the end of her life; a young woman looks for her elusive mom; a pregnant girl prepares to provide delivery as her spouse is dying; familial love will keep music alive; and Harlem is working late.
