These poems are loud, risky, and unapologetically rooted in the glory of Black gxrlhood. The collection opens with a heartrending indictment of injustice. What follows is a striking reimagination of the world, one where no Black gxrl dies \"by the barrel of the law\" or \"for loving another Black gxrl.\" Part familial archival, part map of Black resistance, \u003ci\u003eGumbo Ya Ya\u003c\/i\u003e catalogs the wide gamut of Black life at its intersections, with punching cultural commentary and a poetic voice that holds tenderness and sharpness in tandem. It asks us to chew upon both the rich meat and the tough gristle, and in doing so we walk away more whole than we began and thoroughly satisfied.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aurielle Marie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822966662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822966661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 6.77w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2021 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021 pg. 91","brand":"Aurielle Marie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053740191999,"sku":"9780822966661","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9c6ae7b-b15e-41c9-9aa9-d588d351a8da.jpg?v=1685025999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gumbo-ya-ya-aurielle-marie-9780822966661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
