Description

A striking debut collection from Virgin Islands-born poet Nicole Sealey. Ordinary Beast is a full-length exploration of what it means to be human, delving into existential questions and everyday experiences with profound understanding. Sealey's voice is always awake to the natural world, to the pain and punishment of existence, and to the origins and demises of humanity. Her poetry refuses to turn a blind eye or deny, instead offering a nuanced examination of race, sexuality, gender, myth, history, and embodiment. With brilliant, often ironic lines that move seamlessly from meditation to matter-of-fact observation, Sealey's work is both thought-provoking and deeply personal.
