Book Overview
The only thing more beautiful than Beyonc? is God, and God is a black woman sipping ros? and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly-laughing in the therapist's office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist, tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altar to the complexities of black American womanhood in an age of non-indictments and deja vu, and a time of wars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate and mourn. They are a chorus chanting: You're gonna give us the love we need.

Poetry for Beginners
Published by Ashly Moore Sheldon • November 15, 2021
Amanda Gorman stole the show last January when she shared her poem The Hill We Climb. Her evocative, energizing voice offered a fresh, accessible take on what many consider to be an esoteric, staid genre. Her new book, Call Us What We Carry, comes out on December 7 and here we spotlight fifteen other poets whose verses provide a good entry point into the dynamic artform of poetry.
