"The poems in Tender chronicle the experiences of Black people, especially of Black women, in their quest for self-determination and their desire to live full, complex, unencumbered lives. Employing her skills as a documentary filmmaker, Hamilton combines reclaimed historical accounts, memories and stories to engage subjects such as intergenerational trauma, racial violence, the silencing of girls and women, and the loss of children. Running throughout her work is a yearning for genuine equality and freedom, and a understanding that a better future begins with engaging honestly with our past."--Page 4 of cover.
