商品簡介
The captivating poems in Ridiculous Light find their subjects in decades of daily experiences, whether in poems about a 1960s childhood—a Milwaukee of neighborhood libraries, first Afros, and white flight—or an adulthood marked by the pleasures and tumult of love, activism, and artmaking.A storyteller of the first order, Valencia Robin revisits growing up fatherless, both from the confused, silenced perspective of a child and of the worldly woman that child becomes; and she explores the multiple realities of being an American woman of African descent, deeply aware of the stark differences between her life and the generations of black women who came before her.Ridiculous Light is a unique debut: aware of its legacy, bursting with beauty and wisdom.
