The Book of Light
With a powerful introduction by Ross Gay and a moving afterword by Sidney Clifton, this special anniversary edition of The Book of Light offers new meditations and insights on one of the most beloved voices of the 20th century. Though The Book of Light opens with thirty-nine names for light, we soon learn the most meaningful name is Lucille—daughter, mother, proud Black woman. Known for her ability to convey multitudes in few words, Clifton writes into the shadows—her father’s violations, a Black neighborhood bombed, death, loss—all while illuminating the full spectrum of human emotion: grief and celebration, anger and joy, empowerment and so much grace.

The Mansion of Happiness
Robin Ekiss's meditations on memory and mortality are a canary in the coal mine of imagination. With disembodied dolls, dank Parisian catacombs, the gilded interior of a Fabergé egg, and the unfathomable edge of Niagara Falls as the dominion of these poems, reading Ekiss's work is like peering into the perfectly still world of a diorama or daguerreotype: an experience both uncanny and uncompromising.
Starshine & Clay
These poems run the gamut between human striving and suffering, ultimately imbued with a tenacious hope
Nonwhite and Woman

This singular collection, inspired by Lucille Clifton's luminous poem, "won't you celebrate with me," sings to the beauty of how these women live and thrive in the world, and how they make their lives their own. Includes author commentaries, discussion questions for further exploration, resources for additional reading, and a guide to writing micro essays.
