The Gospel of Barbecue

By Honorée Fanonne Jeffers

Winner of the 1999 Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize

"Honor e Jeffers is an exciting and original new poet, and The Gospel of Barbecue is her aptly titled debut work. These poems are sweet and sassy, hot and biting, flavored in an exciting blend of precise language and sharp and surprising imagery that delights. They leave a taste in your mouth, these poems; they are true to themselves and to the world. They are gospel, indeed, and this young poet will be heard more and more spreading the true word. Good news " --Lucille Clifton
