โฆ Synopsis
Poetry. African American Studies. This new collection by poet, essayist, and professor Kathryn Waddell Takara reflects her travels as a performance poet in Africa, Europe, Central America, Tahiti and China. Born and raised in Tuskegee, Alabama, Takara is currently Assistant Professor at the University of Hawai'i at Monoa in the Ethnic Studies Department. What makes us able to come together is that we all have a critique - we all bear witness to the social, economic, and the political - not just the tree, not just grandma - but the context-Kathryn Waddell Takara.
