Fire In My Bones

by Ollie Marshall-Rico

In a world of parting and pain, Ollie Marshall-Rico gives voices to her agony through Fire in My Bones with her poetic verses. She writes through life's observations and personal experiences with a demanding cry to cope with different challenges that are sometimes forced upon us beyond our control. Touching on the concept that racial unity is strength and exhorting us to learn from our part as we respect our ancestors, elders, and history, she explored and reaffirmed her heritage as she shares her deep and abiding unspoken faith in our Creator, God. She says "Revere the ancestors" as she explored the cultural holidays of Kwanzaa. She realizes the foundation of her existence is based upon the ability of her people to survive beyond the hardships of slavery in a strange land. She stands on the shoulders of a great people. In creating her poetic expression, she releases her hate, injustice, and racial imbalance of discrimination she has experienced all her life, despite the many contributions to the betterment of our society. Fire in My Bones is a cry to be heard, a cry to be appreciated, a cry for release of the pain of the unfairness inflicted upon Ollie Marshall-Rico's very soul.
