Flag Day in Detroit

By Dawn Mcduffie

Poetry. African American Studies. In poems such as "Marriage, It Turned Out, Was a Disappointment," "A Poem About Destiny," "I Married My African-American Lover and Signed Up for a Class in Stained Glass," "Adopting the Other Child," to "Sunlight Gives Me Strength," the author weaves a moving tale about mixed-race marriage, which is really about love and survival in contemporary America: Come on, Sweetie even with thermal wear, with my red flannel night gown, with a wind from Canadaseeping through our windows, I want you.(from "Before My Husband Came to Bed")"
