The Goddess of Gumbo

The Goddess of Gumbo, Kendra Hamilton s first collection of poems, is a spicy stew indeed. Blending elegant music, a sharp eye for the grace and fragility of human experience, and deep-set roots in the South, these poems announce Hamilton as an exceptionally talented, capable, and accomplished artist. You will not read a stronger or more distinctive debut collection of poems in a long, long time.
