Feminine Pronoun Podcast #2

Alice Fae Duncan is a gifted writer of children's books.  On this track I read her poetic biography of poet Gwendolyn Brooks.

A Song in the Front Yard: The Life and Times of Gwendolyn Brooks read by Treasure Shields Redmond

The power of these poems rest in the persona of photo-feminist, activist and folk genius, Fannie Lou Hamer.  I read from my book "Chop: 30 Kwanzaas for Fannie Lou Hamer," and tell the story of resistance that needs to be heard now more than ever.
