Bertha Davis returns with one of the most poignant, compelling, and substantial poetry works. She has won critical acclaim for her novel, Growing Up In Mississippi, and returns with poetry to unleash her spiritual words of wisdom too important for readers to miss. The poem that will stir your soul is The Tree of Death, which takes the reader through the storms of brutality, racism and murder of black people during post civil war in people’s retaliation of Black slaves’ freedom, to painful lynching’s. While many historians would like to hide these crimes that still exist socially and politically, is too important to not remind people of black people’s struggles within only the past 200 years. Bertha remains true to her spiritual journey as a writer who is here to make her mark in history. A True Renaissance Woman of poetry and gift of story is reborn.


Bertha’s work has appeared in Poetry in Motion Book - The Poetry Guild, Spotlighted by African American Poetry Reviews by Blackrefer.com, and Black Authors Showcase Spotlight and Reviews.
