Description: In Tale of a Sky-Blue Dress, the acclaimed poet Thylias Moss proclaims a hymn to the power of light over darkness, both in her own life and in the wider world, delivering a brilliant, passionate, and utterly moving memoir. This is the story of the only child of a maid and a factory worker who moved to Ohio from the segregated South of the fifties. Raised with much love, Thylias flourished until age five, when disaster struck in the form of a girl in a sky-blue dress. But this rift in her life did not crush her uncommon spirit, for in time, Thylias began to open her eyes to loveliness once again, ultimately triumphing as a poet and as a woman.
