"While the horrors of the Jim Crow South have been well documented, Winfred Rembert’s memoir in words and paintings lends immediacy and specificity to their lasting trauma. Rembert’s survival could be described as miraculous if that didn’t seem to discount his own tenacity or absolve his tormentors. Chasing Me to My Grave is painful to read, but it also celebrates beauty and joy and kindness. It is a powerful testament to America’s most shameful history, but even more so to Rembert’s talent and vision as an artist, and to his unique and indomitable spirit."-Sara, Senior Vice President, Books

"A remarkable poetry collection from the author of How the Word is Passed, these poems explore the power of parenthood and the decision to bring a child into a world rife with social and political turmoil. Written in a plain yet lyrical language, Above Ground is a passionate, emotional, and accessible ode to the joys of parenthood, the celebration of ancestry, and the importance of remembering."

"Imani Perry, National Book Award Winner, has not written a history book - as she tells you in her introduction – but a letter. A letter of introduction to us, a love letter to herself, a letter of sympathy for the past. Each chapter covers a different State, Region, or City of “The South”, and within those chapters are dictionary definitions of slang, historic records, insightful interviews, and heartwarming personal anecdotes, as she tries to illustrate the complex story of the Southern United States like you’ve never heard before."-Gwyneth, Detroit
