**Winner of the American Book Award **Silver Medalist for the California Book Award Suck on the Marrow is a historical narrative, revolving around six main characters and set in mid-19th century Virginia and Philadelphia. The book traces the experiences of fugitive slaves, kidnapped Northern-born blacks, and free people of color, exploring the interdependence between plantation life and life in Northern and Southern American towns and illuminating the connections between the successes and difficulties of a wide range of Americans, free and slave, black and white, Northern and Southern. This neo-slave narrative treats the truths of lives touched by slavery with reverence but is not afraid to question the ways the old stories have too often been told. In addition to creating new stories, Suck on the Marrow develops new ways of telling those tales.

Camille T. Dungy's book "Suck on the Marrow," is a fine introduction to the author's poetry. Insistent and rewarding, the book takes us through the stories of several nineteenth century personages in America. Rewarding might be the word, the book is enlightening as well as entertaining. Well done. Allen Hagar
