Description

JP Howard's Say/Mirror is a poignant exploration of motherhood and identity, woven from vintage photographs and personal memories. The poet reflects on her own childhood, juxtaposing snapshots with those of her mother, a renowned African American model in 1940s and 1950s Harlem. Through this unique blend of poetry and biography, Howard charts the complex relationship between a daughter and her mother, navigating the challenges of growing up in the shadow of a "model" figure. This is a deeply personal and evocative work, one that offers a raw and nuanced portrayal of love, neglect, and the search for self. With its unique blend of history, memory, and poetry, Say/Mirror is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
