Description

Sandra Beasley's fourth collection, Made to Explode, offers a powerful exploration of identity, history, and social justice. With unflinching honesty and technical mastery, Beasley probes the complexities of her own life and experiences, weaving together memories of growing up in Virginia and Washington, DC. These poems examine the legacies of racism and whiteness, the impact of societal expectations on individuals with disabilities, and the tensions between personal identity and public institutions. Through a suite of precise and evocative language, Beasley reckons with her roots and seeks out resonance in society writ large. A timely and quintessentially American collection, Made to Explode is a thought-provoking exploration of the world we live in today.
