Reservoir in My Mouth

About the Book

Ms. Ynise's work tells the story of many with the gracious sensitivity to chart them all correctly. As if by witnessing a tragedy she imbues the pain and intimate knowledge contained within. She creates new language combinations that capture the essence of ancient mistreatments still in effect with phrases like: "remedial home décor, female poverty 40 aches and a mule". Reservoir in My Mouth, is a sampling of recipes for natural healing, Fresh Cut Flowers, songs waiting to be sung, patience, time and Plantation Blues, and poems which double as etudes in metaphor, haiku #86, Dwarfed and Repression. Thank you for speaking to the needs of the often neglected because as you say, "without words we will remain speechless "
