*All proceeds go to support the medical expenses of our dear sister Brianne Joy Moore who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 4 months ago, a serious autoimmune disease that affects the brain and central nervous system. Brianne is a phenomenal young person who has generously interned with Climbing PoeTree for over a year. Thank you for your support in this critical time.
Check out what these notables have said about the book:
"Each time I have the pleasure of attending a performance by Climbing PoeTree, I feel enriched, renewed, and inspired. Alixa and Naima insist that poetry can change the world-and it is true that the urgency, power and beauty of their words impel us to keep striving for the radical futures toward which they gesture."
~ Angela Y. Davis, political activist, scholar, Distinguished Professor Emerita, UCSC
"Climbing PoeTree is a soulful expression. Alixa Garcia and Naima Penniman are deep thinkers and gifted poets. I am moved profoundly by the power of their words!"
~ Cornel West, philosopher, academic, activist, author
"This work is the glass shattering, a womb awakening, a brown scream. The exalted sound of a poet's heart. Warrior women, called writers. griots. our holders of truth and words and history. A book opening is also a birth. This is one child you will want to honor, rename and share with your tribe. This is the glory of water, a weight, a push of language we won't fear. This work is a long time coming."
~ jessica Care moore, poet, publisher, Moore Black Press
