Karla Brundage
Swallowing Watermelons (Ishmael Reed Press) is her first published poetry collection and contains almost twenty years of her writing.

Moving between Hawaii, the mainland United States and Zimbabwe, she shares moments in her life as a daughter growing into a woman, as a lover, a mother, and single parent.
