In her three previous, award-winning collections of blues poetry,
Honoree Fanonne Jeffers has explored themes of African American
history, Southern culture, and intergenerational trauma. Now, in
her fourth and most accomplished collection, Jeffers turns to the
task of seeking and reconciling the blues and its three movements -
identification, exploration, and resolution - with wisdom. Poems in
The Glory Gets ask, "What happens on the road to wisdom? What now
in this bewildering place?" Using the metaphor of "gets" - the
concessional returns of living - Jeffers travels this fraught yet
exhilarating journey, employing unexpected improvisations while
navigating womanhood. The spirit and spirituality of her muse, the
late poet Lucille Clifton, guide the poet through the treacherous
territories other women have encountered and survived yet kept
secret from their daughters. An online reader's companion will be
available.
