From award-winning poet and novelist Phillip B. Williams, an astonishing new collection that revels in the possibility of creating one's own light

Captivating for both its grandeur and intimacy, Lift Every Voice explores the capacity for the past to be both a source of dread and empowerment, an unshakable reminder of violence and an indelible testament to the endurance of love. In virtuosic poems that are wise, musical, richly layered, and saturated with vivid imagery, Williams honors a mother "who knew seven ways to say bitch under her breath," a grandma whose smile "reflects the world," and wonders at "the impossible lift" of forgiveness. Lift Every Voice is a staggering tribute to personal and collective evolutions, a vital chorus that answers only to God, community, and the empowered self.
