What others have to say

Testimonials

"Sherrie Fernandez-Williams’s starkly honest Goddess of the Whole Self is a defiant and raw portrait of the woman’s experience from body image to insomnia to middle age. Lyrical and intelligent, the poems in this collection serve as a fiercely feminist tribute to the women who came before and the women we were before. Fernandez-Williams mines history—both personal and political—to represent a life lived and living."

"Liberation Theology: The Remembrance of Sister June (June Jordan) reignited my love for her! Having been reduced like soup stock, I know Juanita. Paying homage to black woman sisterhood derived from Ancestral inspiration is like food for the soul, and now I know that tea is an answer! Poet, Sherrie Fernandez-Williams, thank you for the freedom to recognize and honor the Goddess of my Whole Self!"

"Goddess of the Whole Self celebrates a divine feminine that bridges the wonders and the wounds of womanhood. Here, Sherrie Fernandez-Williams explores embodied geographies with fertile Black grounds where ancestral stories, stories that survey “the ground where they once stood,” share space and time with poems that measure “the distance between selves.” At once deeply relational and autobiographical, her writing is salted with the sweat of real being and layered with homegrown love."
