Redbone

What I may love most about Redbone is the way it strains formally, with syntax and diction, with voice and perspective, searching for the right space on the page to make of this complex family story which, like most family stories, is made of sweetness and plain old hurt a kind of bearable song. It's such a moving act. Such a caring and true telling. Such a singing. --Ross Gay, author of Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude
