The Glory Gets (Wesleyan Poetry Series)

The Glory Gets is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of poems that delves into themes of African American history, Southern culture, intergenerational trauma, womanhood, and the blues.

Through her use of metaphor and improvisation, Jeffers navigates this fraught yet exhilarating journey with wisdom and grace.

The poems in this collection are not simple rants or confessionals, but rather sophisticated examinations of complex issues that will leave readers both moved and inspired.

With an online reader's companion available, The Glory Gets is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of black women in America.
