Pages on the Floor - Paperback

by Janay Blakely (Author)

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.
