Description

“Matejka challenges notions of propriety, as if breaking silence on long-held family secrets. . . . A smart and engaging debut.” —<em>Black Issues Book Review</em> “Adrian Matejka’s garden breeds a formidable range of voices and explorations, all in one groove, both sensual and evocative of the borders of identity where hoodoo turns to music.” —<em>Crab Orchard Review</em> “Using jazz and blues rhythms with telling allusions to Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, and Billie Holiday, Matejka fashions a powerful autobiography in verse….Highly recommended for all larger collections.” —<em>Library Journal</em>
