| book description |

In this electrifying debut poetry collection--written with the ferocity of Rita Dove's groundbreaking Thomas and Beulah--a critically acclaimed award-winning talent explores a wide range of emotions, from anxiety to ecstasy reflecting the moon's phases, from Waning Gibbous to Full. Both intimate and intricately structured, this collection of African poetry from Tramaine Suubi is inspired by the moon--its phases' effects on water, the Earth, and our bodies. Phases relishes in the beauty of change, even that caused by heartbreak. Suubi's refreshing, vulnerable verse begs to be underlined, memorized, and shared; each of her poems about love and heartbreak operate as love letters to the cyclical healing that occurs in nature, in our bodies, and in the bodies that have come before us. A remarkable work of vulnerability and power: Women's Poetry: Exploring the depths of love, loss, and identity from a powerful and unflinchingly female perspective. A Healing Journey: Structured around the phases of the moon, this collection follows an intimate path from the ache of heartbreak to the peace of self-acceptance. African Diaspora Experience: Raw, honest verse that navigates the complexities of being ""afrikan in amerikkkais,"" grappling with home, identity, and belonging. Lyrical and Vulnerable Verse: With refreshing honesty that begs to be underlined and shared, Suubi's work is perfect for fans of modern, emotionally resonant poetry.
