Description
Sugar Work explores the intricate relationships between womanhood, race, and gender, set against the backdrop of growing up in Atlanta, Georgia in the late 1990s. Through poetry, the book delves into themes of beauty and whiteness, the impact of sexual trauma on the female body, divorce, desire, and art itself.
The narrative poems that make up this collection reflect on the speaker's complex childhood and its influence on their evolving relationship with love and self-acceptance. This powerful exploration of female sexuality sheds light on the complexities of growing up in a world where sex work is often stigmatized.
