by Claudia Rankine at least once. I love this book. It is poignant and powerful, and I love the mix of poetry and essay, of pictures/photos and lyricism. I am always blown away by this author’s work. It is so honest, unbearably so, and full to the brim of beauty.is both classic and contemporary and it covers so many themes, love and loneliness, family, death, health, grief, and race. I found myself whew-ing at the pages, resting, coming back for more.
‘The How: Notes on the Great Work of Meeting Yourself’ by Yrsa Daley-Ward is published by Penguin on 2 November.by Kevin Young is a dizzying exploration and excavation of a Black American storytelling tradition. It circumvents the atrocities of white colonial erasure to arrive at a deeper, spiritual truth that exemplifies the necessity for concrete historical records on what has been stolen not only from African-Americans, but members of the African diaspora globally.
