Shade is a place meanders east west along Charlottesville's Downtown Mall, seeking 'a Black sense of place' at the pace of stressed shade and street trees, the mall's architectural history, and the speaker's ongoing questions and reflections. The collection of poems is a moving invitation to open one's attention by looking up, down, and always within. Through lyric walking poems ('tree walks' and 'shade walks') and Basho-style travelogue, Shade is a place unfolds as much through arboreal life as through one's inner life - sometimes alone, sometimes with others, and always among turning trees.
