Publisher's Synopsis
"Praises sings with the reminders of human fragility, lyrical tendencies, and celebration. Shelby Stephenson scatters and honors the voices of the makers of these stories like an undertaker stringing the small bones of birds across yonder fields and skies, lest they be remembered as honest, articulate, and human. This collection is a commemorative flag and a benediction for the burdens of freedom carried in the hearts of free and not so free Carolina sons and daughters. Jaki Shelton Green, North Carolina Poet Laureate"--.
