"Aja Monet ‘s poetry offers us textures of feeling and radical shifts of meaning that expand our capacity to envision and fight for new worlds." –Angela Davis
Poet Aja-Monet's My Mother Was a Freedom Fighter is an ode to mothers, daughters, and sisters—the tiny gods who fight to change the world.

These poems are made of the black woman genius they praise: "the ghost of women once girls," "mothers who did the best they could," and "daughters of a new day." Monet is a child of old school black power and a daughter of the myriad political traumas of today. Her poetry is indispensable. These poems are fire.”
