SOME OTHER SPRING

‘Some Other Spring’ Billie Holliday and Her Orchestra

A collection of stories of delta women, who know how to churn the days into a life.

Of the garden district sibyls, who carry honey bee truths on their tongues. Who hear the thrumming bloodline that came before. Of men who know the secret fishing spots of Father Mississippi. Who’ve taken his baptism by red clay hills. The mud-men who catch sweet tea dreams for children with grandfather hooks and fishing line. Of the women who feel the stirring of the gumbo spoon in their bones. This is where we stir the springtime back again. By the ghost dance of their blues. By the fires of their kitchen heat.
