Ancestral Voices is a compelling work, which creatively entwines the experiences of people of color. Moreover, this collection of poetry explores profound issues within the lives of people of color by a narration of words that dance to a hypnotic beat, mourn to a sorrowful song and hope to an uplifiting gospel. Ancestral Voices proves that poetry can not only tell a story through words but compels the reader to awaken all senses. It is time to experience the Ancestral Voice!

�����������������������������������������������From: I prayed
��When it was dark and the sky was a royal velveteen blue,
��I heard a voice gently whisper "I prayed for you."
��
��I prayed for you, my little red boy,
��that you would not be a victim to anyone's ploy.
��I prayed for you.

��When the sky was dark and the sky was a royal, velveteen blue,
��I looked in the brightness in my little son's eyes and whispered
��I prayed for you.
