Eshe Benson

Thorns in Her Flesh is a revision of Eshe Benson’s first book, The Sun and Her Rising. The book is an illustrated collection of poems by a black woman on love that is often like a rose flower; magnificent in its beauty but burdened with pricking thorns. It is also about the realities of family relationships and the socio-cultural, spiritual, economic, and political complexities of life in the African context.
