the delicacy of embracing spirals

the delicacy of embracing spirals investigates the ways in which the personal narrative of Black queer womanhood can be expressed through, a radically human lens. “mimi tempestt writes like a third testament in which God (or our understanding) finally matures.Like a painter longed for by a million canvasses. No peer. No rival. Just a cosmos enjoyed by friends; alive in the most exciting mind of our generation.”—Tongo Eisen-Martin, author of Blood on the FogWith a visual sensibility that explodes across the page, the collection begins with microcosmic poems of personal struggle and spirals out to macrocosmic texts of social and political critique.The book culminates in a fantastic account of the staging of a play with life-threatening consequences.
