It is in your hands

It is in Your Hands presents a collection of creative writing in the genres of poetry, nonfiction, short fiction, and novel writing. Written over a two-year period, the pieces highlight sociological issues in the African American community dealing with feminism, racism, and classism. Other topics concerning the psychological effects of depression, poverty, and slavery also arise. Altogether, the works seek to speak to the canon of African American literature, as well as demonstrate an original voice filled with literariness and awareness of the American literary tradition.
