As Angela Jackson has developed as a poet, her poetry has engaged various artistic perspectives, yet always maintains a characteristic combination of compassion, grace, and daring. Jackson moves with ease from the personal to the historical--filled alternately with wonder, righteous anger, tenderness, and a tangible intensity. Her verse is rich and passionate and brimming with poetic surprises .

Yusef Komunyaakaa meet your spiritual twin...,
This review is from: And All These Roads be Luminous: Poems Selected and New (Paperback)
she is angela jackson from woodside california, by way of chicago, by way of woodville mississipi, born from the goddess...her poems speak blues, religion, jazz, down-home cooking, long lasting sugar kisses and journeys by astral travelling. she is a spider walking across the face of history a spook opening her heart to reveal her family secrets...this book is poignant, powerful, sexy, and shows the capabilities of lamguage when placed with someone who has respect for it....very few poetry books have moved me...this one does....
