Cotton

We are flesh born of flesh, yet still divine. Our parents? best and worst laced like poetry along our vertebrae. Ourancestors? prayers made human. Made soul. Made life. We are born of and into a community of power that has existed since the beginning of time. Cotton is a short collection of poetry that encapsulates all of these emotions through the lens of Najya A. Williams, a young, Afro Caribbean woman born and raised in Chocolate City. Hinged on three critical time periods, Cotton transcends the superficial and delves deep into wounds infected with prejudice, racism, pain, and heartache. Get settled in and stay for a while: this is only the beginning.
