Otherhood: Poems - Pitt Poetry Series | Contemporary Poetry Collection for Women, Mothers & Feminists | Perfect for Book Clubs & Literary Gifts

Reginald Shepherd,a prolific poet, takes the reader into a wide ride of escapades in Otherhood. In other words, he suspends you in different worlds-Elagabal, Egypt, Rome, Cygnus. More than that, his words are often shocking and uncomfortable. For instance, in his poem "Hygiene" Shepherd reminds African American men of the horrors of Jeffery Dahmer and their secret desire to sleep with white men. Finally, throughout the book Shepherd exposes himself, he reveals the naked truth.Steven C. ThedfordAuthorNobody Told Me It Was Like This
