Description
This searing collection of poetry confronts the pain, self-doubt, anger, and resilience found in women’s lives and in the broader African American experience. Its poems address betrayal, sexual violence, murder, grief, racism, and the lasting wounds carried within families and communities. Blending lyrical intensity with innovative structure, history, and the rhythms of Black speech, the book transforms personal suffering into an urgent meditation on survival, justice, identity, and liberation. Fierce, compassionate, and unflinching, it exemplifies a powerful poetic voice committed to truth and social change.
