Description
A poignant and introspective poetry collection, this work explores loneliness, resilience, identity, and the painful contradictions of personal and social change. Through vivid images, candid reflection, and a voice that moves between vulnerability and defiance, the poems confront the pressures facing Black women and communities while searching for dignity and hope amid disillusionment. The recurring image of cotton candy dissolving in rain captures the fragility of dreams and the difficulty of preserving tenderness in a harsh world. Both intimate and politically resonant, the collection reflects a pivotal period in the poet’s evolving artistic and activist vision.
