Although and In Spite

Although and In Spite is a blend of autobiographical poetry and historical prose, poet Jasmine Epps names "true not true" stories of survival, motherhood, and identity-crafting while under assault. This book is a debut collection of how one woman makes it through the hardest moments of her life, that echoes the wilderness survival of generations of men and women before her. Although and In Spite serves as a guide for survivors of racial violence, gender violence, and sexual assault in order to reconnect with themselves and God.
