Folks are lovin Freshwater Road

So I know that I had to read Freshwater Road by Denise Nicholas, but it is even more urgent now.

For one, Mark Anthony Neal contributed a profile of Denise Nicholas for BackList. Which is wonderful. I thought it was cool for him to interview her, especially since he said he used to have a little crush on her.

Valerie Boyd, author of Wrapped In Rainbows (the dope, dope biography of Zora Neale Hurston) also did a profile of Denise Nicholas in the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

This is also great news for independent publishing: Agate out of Chi-town.
