~ The Friday Poem: Daughtr of the 90s' by Carin Smeaton
Now for a few words from Dr. Trace Slaughter ~
This poetry "charged with fierce character energy, leaps the reader through gritty urgent scenes, and addresses live issues with a potent embodied voice." "Her work is fired with dynamic presence, dissects cultural histories with a sharp contemporary tone, and cuts to the heart of working-class realities through empowering voices living at the urban edge."
