I Find My Strength In Simple Things Bewertungen

'The visceral energy of live performance is transmuted to the page in this powerful debut from Desree. I Find Myself in Simple Things writes into a world of renewed racism and white supremacy, where black boys are expected to fail and black girls eroticised and ignored. Desree speaks directly to a younger generation inheriting this collective grief, and works hard to guide them through. It is a book about love.The language is angled and insistent, a metronome of resistance in every piece. And throughout, there a sudden moments of poetry, like rip tides, that threaten much larger questions. 'You will look up to men who don't look up to see the sky'. Stunning.' - Joelle Taylor, Poet, Performer and Author of 'Songs My Enemy Taught me'
