Full Synopsis
Performance poet Sophia Thakur offers a powerful new collection touching on intergenerational relationships, finding your voice, and what it means to be a woman.

In her heartfelt second poetry collection, Sophia Thakur takes us on an emotionally charged journey through the lives of women in the past and considers what it means to be a woman today. Exploring topics such as identity, race, politics, mental health, and self-love, she weaves together the voices of a grandmother, mother, and daughter and examines how previous generations have given us the freedom to speak out. Encompassing love from first crush to breakup, as well as the history that comes before us and the brave moments that make us, this collection will resonate with all young women as they approach the joys and pain of adulthood.

"Author Thakur's voice is whispery, slow, insistent--demanding listeners' attention. . . . Nalini Thakur's rich West African accent contrasts with the author's London inflections, emphasizing the diasporic legacy these women carry and reinforcing the chain of generational love that strings these poems together." —AudioFile
