A piercingly beautiful memoir about race, loss and family by the Pulitzer Prize winner and twice-appointed US poet laureate: the story of black women and violence in the American South as youve never read it before. At age nineteen, Natasha Trethewey had her world turned upside down when her former stepfather shot and killed her mother. Heartbreakingly clear-eyed and tender, Memorial Drive is a daughters act of love – and an unflinching excavation of the wounds that never heal. For as Trethewey tells her story, and reclaims her mothers, she lays bare the indelible scars of slavery and racism on the soul of a troubled nation. Sheer artistry ... Tretheweys masterpiece suggests that the greatest act of defiance a black person can do is to remember Financial Times.
