The fiery passion and epigrammatic terseness with which Loretta
Burns re-enacts her experiences and observations as an African
American woman in contemporary America reveal her as a poet of life
who transcends the labels African American, feminist, and/or
womanist. Her poetry captures moments and scenes of living that
echo her impressions and intuitions of a world trapped between
appearance and reality, illusion and disillusion, expectation and
realization, the material and the spiritual. Through her deceptive
simplicity of diction, she explores the nooks and crannies of her
psyche as well as her society's. It is a poetry written from the
depths of the heart that calls attention to the mystery and
sacredness of the everyday. It therefore comes as no surprise that
Loretta Burns and Bill F. Ndi, the Cameroonian-born poet with a
fierce drive for global peace and the oneness of humanity, should
collaborate on a collection of poems. With vibrancy and a sense of
urgency, their lines evoke humanity's perpetual struggle for
freedom and its search for meaning.
