From the Marrow collects nine ritual/jazz performance texts by Sharon Bridgforth, including lovve/rituals & rage, no mo blues, dyke/warrior-prayers, blood pudding, con flama, love conjure/blues, delta dandi, River See,  and dat Black Mermaid Man Lady/The Show. Rooted in blues and bristling with the voices of ancestors, lovers, neighbors, aunties, mermaids, and friends, these texts document a thirty-year practice of deep listening,  collaboration, and care. Shapeshifting, polyvocal, multi-gendered, genre-bending, nonlinear, Bridgforth’s writing innovates form the way the ocean carves the coast: with sensuality, salty humor, aching grief and rage, and with vast, various, and invariable love. The volume, a historic gathering of Bridgforth’s texts, is also a gathering of longtime collaborators, with witnessings by Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Sonja Parks,  Stacey Karen Robinson, Sonja Perryman, Omi Osun Joni L. Jones, Nia Witherspoon, Stephanie L. Batiste, and Robbie McCauley.
