Pages on the Floor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985654400)

In her debut collection of poems, Miami based poet Janay Blakely explores the connections between language and our bodies, identities, and emotions. Pages on the Floor is a strikingly honest depiction of what it's like to be young African American woman in today's society. Written in a conversational tone, and with a voice that is at times confessional, sarcastic, or even funny, these relatable poems touch on topics such as race, family, love, self-discovery, and heartbreak.
