Description
This powerful second collection of poetry reimagines biblical narratives through the intimate, often turbulent realities of Black gay life. Moving through disease, violence, grief, desire, racial and sexual identity, and inherited trauma, the poems confront isolation and social injustice while insisting on love, survival, and the sacredness of the body. With a voice that is at once restrained and emotionally devastating, the collection transforms personal and communal suffering into an anthemic challenge to conventional ideas of faith, humanity, and belonging. Erotic, elegiac, and startlingly inventive, these poems offer a searching vision of how love and language can endure in a wounded world.
