I was outside, on a rock in the middle of a babbling brook and reading francine j harris's divine collection "Here is the Sweet Hand". I can't think of a more perfect place for these poems, which felt like peeks of sunlight through the dappled trees. Like the small ant peeking over my zippered lunchbox, harris's poems see the world from a whole new perspective. Echoing with warmth, intelligence and unfrettered black magic, this is a collection that hums and sings through the veins like a new day. Her range goes all the way from discussing opera to rapping over Ty Dolla $ign's signature "Or Nah". We see the immense joy and tears that make the modern black femme experience. "Here is the Sweet Hand" is a collection to return to again and again, seeking and seeing in different lights.
