Red Hot on a Silver Note

"Groves' poetry is visually appealing; it is direct, and the images are clear. Her writing depicts pleasure and challenge, an honest confrontation with experience." --MultiCultural Review"Maketa Groves has a strong, bright lyric gift. Her poems come out of music and are full of music. They bring us the sounds of the streets and the sounds of nature, and make us see once again that they are parts of the same song. She celebrates American lives as they are lived today: the mother scrubbing her kitchen floor at midnight, the drag-queens in the Tenderloin, the homeless woman knitting in the courtyard. This is poetry that relentlessly shows us the beauty in the world, with all its struggles and complexity, and demands that we go out to meet it with open hearts." --Diane di Prima
