| Summary: | A poetic ethnography that creates and documents the vocabulary of the Southern Black queer experience. These piercing, surprising poems look to familial history, rituals of faith and the natural world to explore how the intersecting cultures of Blackness and queerness relate to each other. As 'the space between men' evolves, the reader is challenged and empowered to seek expansiveness in relationships, and explore memory as a catalyst for self-determination. Mia S. Willis weaves together intergenerational knowledge and personal discovery, not only to define themselves but to articulate a communal identity that transcends language. |
