Sharing The Same Sky

This powerful, poignant book of poetry exhilarates the spirit, ignites the imagination and leaves you breathless. Gray is at once wise and witty, sensuous and vulnerable as she leads you on a riveting journey from NYC’s Lower East Side, through Georgia fields, to the Middle Passage and beyond. Her skillful sectioning of selections into, "The Sound of Selves," "Evocative Objects," "Erotic Distractions" gives direction and cadence to the artful array of poems herein. With themes of humor and heartbreak, love and loss these poems go deep into the bone and marry themselves to the marrow. Gray is a gifted, inspiring storyteller whose book is a must for every collection. SHARING THE SAME SKY is clearly poetry's finest hour.
