Synopsis
Cornrows and Cornfields is a heartfelt journey from the childhood fields of Indiana to the glittering metropolis of Chicago. Spinning together memory, popular culture and personal politics, Celeste Doaks makes words dance, weep, wail and sing often in the space of just a couple of lines.
This sublime collection of delightfully bold and vivid poems burn upon the mind's eye long after the final page is turned.
