Product Overview
by Latashia Edmond The poetry of Latashia Edmond reflects upon a non-fiction reality. It deals with having a profession, developing relationships, and living in the world that Edmond experiences. A young black woman who grew up in a family surrounded by disappointments and anger, Edmond has learned from each move, each step, and each mistake. Fire Child: Poetry from the Heart of a Black Woman reflects the thoughts Latashia Edmond could never say to those whom she loves. Those thoughts became her poetry. Her book is entitled Fire Child because she finds it hard to put out her flames, even if she has made many mistakes.
