{"product_id":"attraversiamo-9781630450212","title":"attraversiamo","description":"ATTRAVERSIAMO, Monique Ferrell's third collection of poetry, is an examination of a life in progress. It includes twenty-seven new poems that focus on the importance and impact of living within a skin that is both Black and female. Readers will find poetry that revisits local, national, and international tragedies; discussions about the power, \"privilege,\" and pain of living as a woman in America; and an examination of what it means to survive, stand up, and willingly walk through to the other side. ATTRAVERSIAMO is a poetic discussion about transformation and why survival, thoughtful consideration, and life matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFerrell, Monique:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Monique Ferrell is a poet and fiction writer.
