Description
This powerful collection explores 21st century black American womanhood and its complexities through a framework of performance, pop culture, and personal narrative. Morgan Parker's poems examine modern media, consumption, feminism, and Blackness, weaving together references from jazz standards, visual art, family history, and Hip Hop.
The voice of this book is multifaceted, probing the intersections of mythology and sorrow, vulnerability and posturing, desire and disgust, and tragedy and excellence. Through its exploration of femininity and race in contemporary American politics, Parker writes and rewrites bodies, stories, and histories of the past, bearing witness to the truth of the present.
