by Cherene Sherrard (Author)
Cherene Sherrard's debut poetry collection Vixen takes to task the historical narratives and artistic mediums that have shaped racial and gender identity.
Sherrard's work asks readers to closely examine the hand that guides the pen, the photographer behind the lens, and the star on stage. In powerful, finely crafted lines, Sherrard's poems interrupt and redirect the conversation. These voice-driven poems are accessible to any reader interested in work that examines racial and black female representation within a historical, cultural, and artistic framework.Author Biography
