    About this ebook

    Join poet Denise Thompson-Slaughter as she comes full circle in her poetic life, from the revolutionary 1960s as a teen and young adult to the maturity of a woman in her sixties. Each poem stands alone but also within one of three life phases with many lessons learned and maturity reached. Thompson-Slaughter's poetic excellence shines and allows readers of all ages to appreciate her unique yet universal thoughts on social, political, and intensely personal topics.

      THERE IS A HOUSE, NOW BUILT ONLY FROM MEMORY and storytelling, its bricks long dissolved by the acid of apartheid’s paintbrush. I have never seen it. Yet I have magically walked its passages, my footfalls invisible on its wooden floors. The piano is
