Reviews
"There are many ways and reasons to love someone: kindness; thoughtfulness; warmth; patience; always being there for you. When my son was born Paule Marshall was the first person to visit me and bring congratulations and a present. I always loved her for that. When you read REMEMBERING Paule by Daryl Dance you will discover your own reasons for loving Daryl and Paule. A glass of wine, a quilt over your feet and a wonderful book. Who could ask for more?" --Nikki Giovanni, Poet
"I am so grateful for Daryl Cumber Dance's stunning testament to her friendship with Paule Marshall. She held the treasured memories of Paule in her heart and mind until she could do justice to the specialness of their friendship. REMEMBERING Paule is magnificently worth the wait!" --Joanne Veal Gabbin, Founder of the Wintergreen Women Writers Collective
"Daryl Cumber Dance has written an exquisite, meticulous and warmhearted paean to her dear friend, colleague, and fellow traveler, the novelist Paule Marshall. Dance regales the reader with countless scholarly activities and social events involving colleagues and friends literally across the globe from Richmond to Paris. REMEMBERING Paule is a delight, and it is also a powerful testament to the indispensable value of a lasting friendship." --Alvin Schexnider, Academician, Genealogist
"What a gift it is to be given such a clear window into the extraordinary friendship of these two phenomenal Black women writers! REMEMBERING Paule captures the dazzling and the quotidian moments, both anchored in indubitable fact and delightful photographs. Paule Marshall lives on--vibrantly, vividly--in Daryl Cumber Dance's detailed and precious memories." --Lauren K. Alleyne, Executive Director, Furious Flower Poetry Center
"To read REMEMBERING Paule by Daryl Cumber Dance is to understand how the brilliant writer Paule Marshall--a Brooklyn native of Barbadian heritage--could be lured to join Dance in the English department at Virginia Commonwealth University. At first unnerved by the Confederate statues on Richmond's Monument Avenue, Marshall, author of the seminal 1959 novel 'Brown Girl, Brownstones, ' formed an unlikely bond with her adopted city. Dance, her supportive colleague, tour guide and friend, renders in painstaking detail a heartfelt tribute to Marshall, who died in 2019." --Michael Paul Williams, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist
