Urgent…luminous….Between sparkling homages to famous Black women like Aretha Franklin and poems that proclaim and mourn the loss of missing and murdered Black girls, Hill situates her own reckoning with Black girlhood…readers are lucky to be with her in these outstanding pages.

Through the lens of history and her own memories, DaMaris B. Hill explores Black girlhood. Hill pays homage to women such as Toni Morrison, centers stories of missing Black women and girls, and shares her own stories in a collection that combines poetry, essays, and photographs.

DaMaris B. Hill writes the poetry of the bound black woman across the ages in this haunting, powerful collection. What you will read here is not just poetry, though. This book offers an education. This book bears witness. This book is a reckoning.
