"Step into the captivating world of Sundays and Hot Buttered Rolls: A Granddaughter of Harlem Speaks, a poetic journey masterfully crafted by Carla M. Cherry. This chapbook unfolds like a lyrical tapestry, intricately weaving the vibrant threads of Cherry's heritage. A celebration of her father, a Harlemite, begins a nuanced exploration of the bustling streets and cultural treasures that have shaped her identity. James Van Der Zee's photographic brilliance, the hallowed grounds of the Schomburg Center and Harlem School of the Arts, and the rhythmic pulse of Chicago-style stepping reverberate, becoming a metaphor for the intricate steps of the African diaspora's history in the heart of New York City and beyond. As you traverse this poetic odyssey, anticipate satisfaction akin to the lingering aroma of her paternal grandmother's homemade biscuits on Sundays-a sensory delight that nourishes the soul." -Abiodun Oyewole, Founding Member of The Last Poets
