"In this powerful, lucid poems, Allison Joseph looks unflinchingly at the chronic angers of an unromanticized urban childhood. The vividly rendered neighborhoods of In Every Seam unfold before us, showing us how the young are taught over and over that the glittering, sparkling, dazzling things of the world are beyond their grasp. But Joseph, a survivor of these neighborhoods, brilliantly disproves these lessons. In Every Seam is literally a triumph". Maura Stanton"Like all good literature, the poems in Allison Joseph's In Every Seam explore the common yet complex notion of what it's like to be a human being. These poems take a close-up look at the particular world of the author -- a black woman who grew up in an America which refused, again and again, to see her as a person first, a black person second".

Christian parents question whether their children should attend public schools. Crime afflicts many public school campuses. Budget cuts have increased class sizes and eliminated many programs from public school curriculum. Such trends cause Christian parents to wonder whether they should send their children to private schools or provide home schooling for them. 
Linden Boggs encourages parents to consider another option: Get involved constructively in the life of the public school, and make them better environments for learning. 
"Our public schools provide a superior education at a minimal cost," he writes. "They are effective training centers for the future leaders of our nation, and of the world. Why dismantle the public school system just because it has flaws? Every institution does. But I believe the flaws in our school system challenge us to improve the system. They challenge all parents to get involved in the education of their children" (10-11). 
Concerned Parents offers practical guidance to parents who want to see their public schools become more effective, and more conducive to supporting the values of Christian families.

Poetry. African American Studies. "Sassy and funky, serious and sly, the poems in Allison Joseph's VOICE travel through a rich and varied landscape. From childhood griefs to adult desires, the classroom to the bar, these poems cut and cajole, tackling the most serious and the most sultry with a graceful eloquence. Like a soloist who rises above the rest of the choir, the voice in these poems peals with clarity and beauty, leading us from a place of familiarity smack dab into the sublime"--Stacey Lynn Brown.

In Double Identity Allison Joseph achieves an astonishing multiplicity of voices: some the preacher/teacher poet, some the enraged and engaged citizen, some the erotic lover both committed and unbound. These voices seem deceptive because they can sound simplistic on first reading, but are far from it. When one realizes that they appear in such contrary manner and contexts, “identity” within them is more than doubled.
