Marking her first poetry collection in nearly a decade, America, A Love Story is a powerful, honest exploration of life as a Black woman and mother in contemporary America. The collection blends grief with hope, serving as both an indictment and a celebration of life, covering themes of racism, intimacy, and the natural world. Notably, the book features formally inventive poems inspired by the, often missed, sleep of new motherhood, offering a tender yet critical look at navigating uncertainty.
