Description
"Kimberly Blockett's meticulous research into Zilpha Elaw not only provides much-needed information about a literary figure about whom most scholars and students know very little, but also suggests a model for delving into the lives of little-known authors. Blockett offers a fabulous and unexpected story, complex and multi-faceted, of a black woman who embraced itinerancy and defied expectation of her place and role."--Elizabeth McHenry, author of, To Make Negro Literature
