[Like] Lucile Clifton… Romaine’s lyrical voice unmasks the hard truths of our human condition, particularly the oppression of women, through her unique use of diction, syntax, and extraordinary imagery, which engages the intellect and speaks to the souls of her readers – Dr. Catherine Humphrey, IAWP UCR Fellow Washington’s book of poetry zeros in on the unique challenges women face in our modern world, and does it with unwavering strength. -Brit Middleton, BET, Editors Must-Read Books for 2016

Washington, Romaine

Poetry

Jamii Publishing

Purgatory Has an Address is a dream state woven of origin myths, it is the search for birth parents; and it is the sober reality of living in a beautiful, pungent, redlined neighborhood. Washington's collection of poems speaks to the powerful desire to belong and be in community. It is an homage to the rugged determination of tumbleweeds and an encouragement to keep asking questions even if the answers do not magically appear.
