For anyone who has stood in front of their closet, hands on hips, pondering for the umpteenth time what to wear, this book is for you! One reviewer noted that it “does a brilliant job of stating a collective problem in a way that’s accessible to all women without over-indexing on a certain female archetype. The crushingly raw opening pages will speak to and soften all readers, while the timing of pithy inflection is perfect. Grant unpacks a uniquely 21^st-century problem — why we feel like we never have anything to wear — in a way that gets at the heart of gendered questions about modernity, abundance, wellbeing, and self-worth. The reader walks away with a framework for finding meaning in seemingly ordinary vulnerabilities and finds herself less lonely in the process.”

This volume of poems represents the 16th collection in a writing career spanning five decades. As a fellow poet noted, “Here is a sure, durable and unsentimental chorus of poems to love and landscape. When Lewandowski describes the hills of the Finger Lakes region of New York, ‘there are/ hills upon hills walking/ the day away in the woods’ he may be describing himself. Take this book by the hand.”

According to its published description, this book “delves into the enduring impact of slavery on African Americans. It argues that post traumatic slavery disorder is akin to post traumatic stress disorder, and profoundly affects the African American community, manifesting in issues such as substance abuse, broken families, crime, and low educational attainment. By tracing the roots of contemporary dysfunctional behaviors to the era of slavery, the authors shed light on the persistent psychological scars inherited by descendants of slaves. The book emphasizes the urgent need to understand and address these historical traumas to foster healing and empowerment within the Black community.”
