There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce

by Morgan Parker

Description

This fierce, lyrical collection explores Black womanhood at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, desire and disgust, beauty and brutality. With wit, tenderness, and unapologetic feminist energy, the poems move through intimacy, mental health, sexuality, race, celebrity, violence, and the struggle to survive—and be seen—in contemporary America. Morgan Parker’s vivid, genre-bending voice transforms everyday pleasures, private wounds, and public crises into an incandescent meditation on power, love, and resilience.
