Black people, queer\/trans\/nonbinary people, flamboyant people, lonely people, gaudy people, kind people, witches, artists, and angry people will meet themselves and each other in these pages. Amidst death and against injustice, Goodly's poems bear gifts for and from the ancestors--a necklace, a mirror, a form of offered prayer: \"If there is a purpose in this life \/ let me wash my face in it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Goodly \u003c\/b\u003eearned their MFA from Columbia University.\u003cbr\u003eTheir chapbook \u003ci\u003eBlack Swim\u003c\/i\u003e won the 2017 Poetry Society of America Chapbook\u003cbr\u003eFellowship.
