| Summary: | This powerful debut collection explores lives lived between worlds. Sylvester masterfully weaves together fiction, poetry and nonfiction to give readers a poignant though fractured view of her characters' lives, their loves and their struggles. Told from the perspective of an urban Native, the work details a journey led by the nomadic band, the Covers. It is an experience meant to heal generational trauma and bring back into the light people who may otherwise be forgotten. At its heart, The Half-White Album is a healing ceremony of the author's own creation, a process grounded in music that celebrates what it is to be human and imperfect and to love imperfectly. |
