Mare's Book of Poems is a lyrical journey through the eyes of an African American woman whose voice spans more than seven decades of living, loving, and learning. Marian L. Wilson writes with honesty and grace as she explores family bonds, the weight of race and history, the complexity of relationships, and the beauty found in resilience. Each poem is both a reflection of her personal journey and an echo of universal truths that touch us all. This collection invites readers to pause, feel, and discover the poetry that exists within their own stories.
