James Weldon Johnson, God's Trombones
(Vintage)
"[Johnson ] is a distinguished and intelligent poet ...There is sensitivity, artistic judgment, and a sustained emotional beauty in his work."
–The New York Times
Lorenza Pieri, Lesser Islands

–Huffington Post

(MCD)
"[A] sharp, observant debut novel, which deftly blends humor and hard truths while examining economic inequities and the emotional toll they take."

J. A. Tyler, Only and Ever This
