Roots, Reality & Rhyme

Roots, Reality & Rhyme is a poetic journey that bridges the personal & political, the mythic & the real.

"Turiya Autry's work as a teacher, artist, and humanitarian comes full circle in 'Roots, Reality & Rhyme!' Each section takes the reader on a journey, a deep dive into Autry's world. The joy, personal history, and the passion will stick with you long after you put down the book. I've been spell bound by Autry's poems when she performs them live, their translation to the page has just as much power and resonance."
