From Civil Rights activist and full-time organizer in the Deep South Ernest McMillan: a collection of poems and short stories that seeks to explore the dynamics of love.


Ernest McMillan began writing essays and short stories in earnest while imprisoned for his work as a Civil Rights activist. Ranging from commentaries on society to short stories and poetry, these pieces reflect the experiences of a fugitive, revolutionary spirit.


This collection of poetry and short stories exists in tandem with Standing, a memoir of McMillan's experiences as a human rights activist. From the particular to the universal, Kneeling meditates on how precious and invaluable it is to sit still, to reflect, and go to one's interior and feast on what truly matters.
