It is for those who, even in the midst of mourning, find themselves distracted from despair by the natural world. It is for everyone looking to find comfort and understanding. From a hidden river in upstate New York to a massive flood in Kentucky, currents of all strengths run through these poems, taking the reader through grief, estrangement, and the too-often unseen interiority of Black women, landing at a new perspective, the light of faith dawning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLyrae Van Clief-Stefanon \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003e] Open Interval [\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the National Book Award and the \u003ci\u003eLA Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize, and \u003ci\u003eBlack Swan\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize and finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize.
