Media Reviews
"In a voice confident, diverse, and directed, Natasha Trethewey's DOMESTIC WORK does what a first book should, and more, while avoiding what first books often do- either borrowing themes from other poets or recycling a narrow vision of family life. Here, Trethewey brilliantly discusses family not for its extremes or its small hurts, but rather for the small intimacies that symbolize larger sufferings of history, both personal and public." -- Kevin Young
-- Ploughshares
"From sonnets and traditional ballads to free verses shot through with the syncopated attitude of blues, the poems in DOMESTIC WORK sing the hard facts of lives pursued on the margins, lived out under oppression and in scripted oblivion, lives bounded by fear yet instilled with a tremulous hope. I know we'll be hearing more from this extraordinary poet." -- Rita Dove
-- Washington Post Book World

Publisher's Notes
Winner of the Cave Canem Prize for emerging African American poets, selected by Rita Dove, this powerful first collection explores the everyday work of the African American woman: to earn a living, manage a household, and the more intimate work of trying to live with or without someone. Trethewey draws upon her own experience, but also from women who lived generations before her.

Psychotherapy With African American Women
by
Focusing on the breadth of issues that affect psychotherapy with African American women, this unique volume is designed to help clinicians develop a broader understanding of what is useful and what is problematic when applying psychodynamic concepts to their clients. From an array of seasoned clinicians, chapters present innovative and creative reformulations of theory and technique that build upon and challenge existing models. Issues addressed include the psychological dilemmas confronting diverse African American women as they negotiate a society that is hostile to them on multiple levels; how ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation and other differences come into play within the therapeutic dyad; and approaches to unraveling the complex interplay of sociopolitical, intrapsychic, and interpersonal concerns in treatment. Filled with illustrative clinical material and pointers for practice, the volume will enhance the cultural competence of mental heath practitioners and students across a range of disciplines.
