Author and poet Tonita Few's new book "Black Butterfly" is as much an homage to growing up in the small-town of Spring Hope, North Carolina, as it is about transformation, metamorphosis, and rebirth. Her prose is lyrical and yet truth-telling, joyous and poignant. A beautiful collection of stories that captures the meaningful uniqueness of life as a journey, "Black Butterfly" gives voice to vignettes of birth, death, struggle, resilience, survival, and above all the beauty of becoming.
Dearest Tonita, you are a wellspring of home, a wellspring of history, a wellspring of legacy, and a wellspring of community. Your words feed, nurture, embrace, cover, and become a blessing of security and comfort. Your heart lives inside your hands - always creating. You are a gift of the divine.
“Dearest Tonita,
“Your words feed, nurture, embrace, cover, and become a blessing of security and comfort. Your heart lives inside your hands. Always serving, always, always, always creating. Strong, unflinching hands, holding ancient, whispered prayers.”
