Sowa's Red Gravy Stories: for Broken Hearted Gals Diane Richards

Sowa's Red Gravy Stories is filled with passion, humor, wit and grit. Writer Diane Richards has the same affection, reverence and mystical empathy for African American folklore and storytelling that can be found in the works of Zora Neale Hurston. Best of all, her work keeps alive the all but forgotten craft of creating authentic American fables.

Diane Richards is the "voice" of the New Harlem Renaissance. Sowa reaches back into southern tradition and folklore to give us stories reminiscent of Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes and Jean Toomer. She is an author to watch.

Sowa is a mythmaker revitalizing the tradition of southern folklore. Richards is a supreme poet ahead of her time. These stories will be told over and over again for generations to come.
