NATIVE GUARD by Natasha Trethewey, read by January LaVoy, Thomas Neal Antwon Ghant, Nicole Banks Long[vocalist], Tyrone Jackson [pianist]

A dramatic presentation of poet Natasha Trethewey’s Pulitzer Prize-winning collection staged by The Alliance Theatre of Atlanta. Two narrators bring deep understanding of the poems—January LaVoy narrates those Trethewey wrote for and about her mother, and Thomas Neal Antwon Ghant represents The Native Guard, men who traded service in the Union army for freedom from slavery. Listeners will be immersed in this dramatic performance, amplified by music. Published by L.A. Theatre Works
