Magical Negro - Morgan Parker

A National Book Critics Circle Poetry Award Winner From the breakout author of There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonc comes a profound and deceptively funny exploration of Black American womanhood. Morgan Parker's latest collection is a riveting testimony to everyday blackness . . . It is wry and atmospheric, an epic work of aural pleasures and personifications that demands to be read--both as an account of a private life and as searing political protest. -- TIME Magazine A Best Book of 2019 at TIME , Elle , BuzzFeed , the Star Tribune , AVClub , and more.
