Conversations with Samantha takes you through the journey of what it is like to be in an interracial-biracial family. Samantha is a beautiful, kind, smart, adventurous and imaginative girl. She is learning about loving her skin, and why the color of her skin is what she looks like on the outside. Samantha 's mom is teaching her that she is so much more than what she looks like on the outside, and this is a lesson that all boys and girls should be taught no matter the color of their skin.

Here Come the Moonbathers, is more dark, difficult and tragic than Patricia Youngs earlier work. The poems in this collection have wild freedom, exploring the themes of love, longing and loss with grace, playfulness, and occasionally anger. There's a surreal edge to these poems, a personal, political and ecological vision, an incantatory vernacular and rhythm that makes these poems unforgettable.
