Leaves Among Us
Rashad L. Givhan’s collection, Leaves Among Us, invites readers to remember the sacred places where our identities were first shaped, hewn: Southern porches at sundown, rigid church pews upholstered in blood red, the Black folks’ cemetery. Imaginative and evocative, here are poems that, all at once, grapple with the concept of “home” and the answers (and healing) one unearths when interrogating it. Infused with vivid imagery, Givhan explores ancestry, identity, family lore, spirituality, and the supernatural lives of everyday Black people whose roots tangle into the fertile soil of the Deep South.
