This book challenges the reader to think about its content. It is very much pro-Black, but offers something to everyone. Stand is universal." - Tyari Witherspoon, author Critical reviews of STAND (2000 Edition) "Stand offers solutions to various personal and social problems we all face in quick-paced rhythms that suggest the time for change...was yesterday." - Michael Henthorn, poet/ educator "The messages in Tyari Witherspoon's poetry are as clear and vibrant on one's psyche as lingering echoes in the Alps-haunting and sacrosanct." - Southern Poetry Review
