Reviews

Across the collection, the writers push against the limits of what we think we know about the South. -Kirkus Reviews A Measure of Belonging is a stark reminder that, behind the draping magnolias and weeping willows, the south has a loaded history, the effects of which still ripple through today's society. Cinelle Barnes' anthology is but one call to awareness, a call to artful rebellion. -NewPages
