Lyrical and intelligent, the poems in this collection serve as a fiercely feminist tribute to the women who came before and the women we were before.

Here, Sherrie Fernandez-Williams explores embodied geographies with fertile Black grounds where ancestral stories, stories that survey \"the ground where they once stood\" share space and time with poems that measure \"the distance between selves.\" At once deeply relational and autobiographical, her writing is salted with the sweat of real being and layered with homegrown love.\u003cstrong\u003e-Arleta Little\u003c\/strong\u003e, Poet and writer, Executive Director of the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, co-author of \u003cem\u003eHope in the Struggle\u003c\/em\u003e, a memoir written about the life of Josie Johnson in collaboration with the Minnesots civil rights leader, and writer, Carolyn Holbrook\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52729110528307,"sku":"9798888382967","price":37.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/rKouxwpFQS9798888382967.webp?v=1763801785","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/goddess-of-the-whole-self-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
