Through the rhythms and musicality unique to Colleen McElroy's voice, Blood Memory portrays an extended family, a complex culture spanning several decades, multiple victories and failures, and a single brilliant soul that frames the poems. |
| Synopsis: |
Learning to Love Bessie Smith took years by all accounts cause who could love a whiskey voice lamenting some no-good man and Aunt Claudia hissing yes like an untethered balloon when Sweet her daughter said plenty do and my mother wouldn't even entertain the possibility given how she had no call to trust any man aiming to separate her from the family and I just flat out couldn't understand what all that weeping was about while I tried sneaking a taste of cherry spiked drink tried listening as Aunt Jennie said baby, men come on like busses another stop along by and by Jennie a little tipsy filling everybody's cup until the punch bowl emptied and my mother eating all the fruit because she didn't drink when for a time she was single again waiting by the side of the road |
