Tiana Clark's prose is a treasure, filled with vulnerability and emotion. I really appreciate her imagery and style. I will definitely check out more of her writing.

“Nashville is hot chicken on sopping white bread with green pickle / chips—sour to balance prismatic, flame-colored spice / for white people. Or, rather, white people now curate hot / chicken for $16 and two farm-to-table sides” —from poem “Nashville”

Art in all its forms, the struggle of not just writing about black pain while also desperately needing to give voice to it, and revisiting the past all come to brilliant effect in this poetry collection.
