Rooted inblues and bristling with the voices of ancestors, lovers, aunties, neighbors,and friends, these texts document Bridgforth's thirty-year practice of deeplistening, collaboration, and care. Shapeshifting, polyvocal, multi-gendered,genre-bending, nonlinear, Bridgforth's writing innovates form the way the oceancarves the coast: with sensuality, salty humor, aching grief and rage, and withvast, various, and invariable love. The volume includes essays, interviews, andwitnessings by Stephanie L. Batiste, Omi Osun Joni L. Jones, Alexis PaulineGumbs, Robbie McCauley, Sonja Parks, Sonja Perryman, Stacey Karen Robinson, andNia Witherspoon.
