Description
Nicole Homer's Pecking Order is a powerful poetry collection that confronts the complexities of family and identity. Through intimate and unflinching poems, Homer explores how race and gender politics shape motherhood and the home. Her work challenges the notion of a safe haven in the domestic sphere, revealing how racial hierarchy and colorism can impact relationships and daily life. The poems range from personal reflections on motherhood to universal experiences of parenting, highlighting the nuances of multiracial families and the struggles of being seen as black in public. This collection is a stark portrayal of the intersections between interior and exterior worlds, where fear, love, and comfort coexist in complex ways. With its sharp articulation of emotion and its exploration of the exhausting journey of being seen, Pecking Order is a striking work that lingers long after reading.
