Description

Description

The Black Maria Poems by Aracelis Girmay explores the complexities of human identity and connection across time and place. Drawing from African diasporic histories, racism within American culture, and the experiences of Eritrean refugees, this collection investigates the lives that are often made invisible. Through a desire to see beyond violence, grace, and indifference, Girmay's poetry elegizes life while wrestling with the notion of recognizing each other better. The recipient of a 2015 Whiting Award for Poetry, Girmay brings a powerful voice to the page, weaving together themes of memory, history, and the human experience. This is Aracelis Girmay's third poetry collection, following Kingdom Animalia and Teeth.
