| Summary: | In Thick with Trouble, award-winning poet Amber McBride interrogates if being "trouble," difficult, unruly, powerful, defiant, is ultimately a weakness or an incomparable source of strength. Steeped in the hoodoo spiritual tradition and organized via reimagined tarot cards, this collection becomes a chorus of unapologetic women who laugh, cry, mesmerize and bring outsiders to their knees. Summoning the supernatural to examine death, rebirth and life outside the male gaze, Amber McBride has crafted a haunting, spellbinding and strikingly original collection of poems that reckon with the force and complexity of Black womanhood. |
