The collection features three narrative poems that delve into travel through an African American lens, blending vivid imagery and humor. A cab ride leads to a thought-provoking conversation with a driver about space and artistic ambition. A visit to Mauritius prompts reflections on the slave trade's complex legacy. In "The Cachoeira Tales," a diverse group journeys to Bahia, sharing stories in rhymed couplets, creating a vibrant exploration of spirit, community, and cultural heritage, while echoing traditional storytelling forms.
