Here Is the Sweet Hand Poems

The poems in 'Here is Sweet Hand' explore solitude as a way of seeing. In particular, the speakers in Francine J. Harris' third collection explore the mystique, and myth, of female loneliness as it relates to blackness, aging, landscape and artistic tradition. The speakers in these poems are often protagonists. Against the backdrop of numerous American cities and towns, and in a time of political uncertainty, they are heroines in their quest to find logic through their own sense of the world. The poems here are interested in the power of observation. But if there is authority in the individual versus the collective, 'Here is the Sweet Hand' also poses questions about the source of that power, or where it may lead.
