Eastside Branch

Medium Meeting Room

Join us each month as we gather to discuss a popular title chosen by the group. All are welcome whether you finished the book or not! This month's pick is "Isaac Murphy: I Dedicate This Ride."

The captivating story of a record-setting nineteenth-century black jockey told in poetry. In this creative foray into persona poems, Walker immerses himself in the life of African American jockey Isaac Burns Murphy (1861–1896). The son of a slave, Murphy’s legendary career riveted the attention of the nation and established him as one of the greatest jockeys of all time. Walker’s poetry breathes life into the voices of Murphy and his family, the neglected history of African Americans in thoroughbred racing, and racial tensions in the post-Civil War South.
