Nickole Brown
An "unleashed love song" to her late grandmother, Nickole Brown's collection brings her brassy, bawdy, tough-as-new-rope grandmother to life. With hair teased to Jesus, mile-long false eyelashes, and a white Cadillac Eldorado with atomic-red leather seats, Fanny is not your typical granny rocking in a chair. Instead, think of a character that looks a lot like Eva Gabor in Green Acres, but darkened with a shadow of Flannery O'Connor. A cross-genre collection that feels like a novel, this book is both a collection of oral history and a lyrical and moving biography that wrestles with the complexities of the South, including poverty, racism, and domestic violence.

Would you listen to Fanny Says again? Why?
Absolutely. Every time I listen I find myself wishing I had more to listen to.What did you like best about this story?
I loved the moments between the poems when we are able to hear snippets of Fanny's life from the audio recordings Nicole provides. It helps the listener get a better understanding of who Fanny was, as well as what she sounds like, which Nickole does beautifully with the visual text of the book.What about Nickole Brown’s performance did you like?
Hearing Nickole read her poetry is always a little bit like magic: her soothing voice with a little bit of sass, a little bit of safety, everything a good poem should be. Nickole deeply loved her grandmother, and you can tell with every single word she speaks.A bit of Magic
