Part of Amy Sherald's Reading List
Sherald is deeply engaged with literature. She often has chosen titles that quote or riff on lines of poetry and prose. Examples include Hope Is the Thing with Feathers (from Dickinson’s poem of the same title); Listen, you a wonder. You a city of a woman. You got a geography of your own (from Clifton’s poem “what the mirror said”); and There Is No Charm Equal to Tenderness of Heart (from Austen’s novel Emma).
