Notes From Your Bookseller

Poets have words. That is their craft. Rudy Francisco finds his own, by that we mean, “invented” words to tell us how he really feels. Francisco carefully, delicately and, at times, frankly, gives Black voices a new language. It is up to us as readers (listeners) to learn that new language.

I'll Fly Away uses Francisco's invented lexicon as the palette to paint an intimate portrait of Black life in America - one that praises joy and grace without shying away from the hard truths confronting all of us today.
