Califia's Daughter, Paperback

Poetry. California Interest. African & African American Studies. Women's Studies. All the dimensions of devorah major's life and (yours) are here-from the 'beginning before the beginning, ' galactic particles to the bebopness of our lives. She speaks of being, of becoming, of totality. Is it a journal, an investigation, the life philosophy of a great poet woman? Is it closer to love and color and everythingness beyond measure-intimacy, Big Mind and all-embracing love howling from the brave-bold island of Califia? Can we hold on? Or are we drifting? In this work, devorah charts the infinite music inside of us all. It is so good to read and in-vision devorah's journeys. After more than four decades of knowing devorah-I bow to her tender, iridescent greatness.-Juan Felipe Herrera
