“Alternating between sharing insight on crafting a poem and insight on losing someone close, Yvette Green‘s poetry collection chooses love at every turn of the page. An ode to survival through divorce, death and incessant busyness, Green’s poems are thoughtful reflections that tug on heartstrings, question Providence and memorializes the sacredness of female friendships. A full-bodied offering that will resonate with anyone who has suffered and survived.”
–Khadijah Z. Ali-Coleman, author of For the Girls Who Do Too Much and The Summoning of Black Joy, and Poet Laureate of Prince George’s County.
Yvette has grown to love go-go music, a wonderful byproduct of making the DMV home. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Yvette graduated with a BA in English from Xavier University of Louisiana and an MA in English from University of Maryland, College Park. She currently teaches composition courses at two local colleges. Two sons awe and inspire her. A freelance writer, essayist, memoirist and poet, she experiments with form and sometimes weaves verse into her creative nonfiction.
