Encompassing America's African-American landscape and rich oral histories of the South, a poetry collection centers on the concept of "home" and explores conflicts between black and white, North and South, ancestral and modern.

"First books rarely sing with such controlled music. Young has a distinctive and unforgettable voice, virtuosic style, and mature command of his material. Any of these poems testifies to Young's genius. A marvelous book, a marvelous poet." Booklist
