Book cover for On Again, Awkward Again by Erin Entrada Kelly and Kwame Mbalia (Harry N. Abrams): When Pacy Mercado and Cecil Holloway spot each other during the first week of freshman year, it’s love at first sight. Well, more like love at first fleeting, injury-riddled glance, since the moment is ruined thanks to clumsiness and a criminal case of IBS. The laugh-out-loud YA romance by two award-winning and bestselling authors, Erin Entrada Kelly and Kwame Mbalia. https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/on-again-awkward-again_9781419775635/

Book cover for for you, this circle: collected poems by Aneb Kgositsile (Third World Press): “Her poems evoke the same Black elegance, fearlessness and clarity as they sweep across the senses rendering the reader helpless to resist the beauty of truth, its teaching pain and healing pleasure.” --Michael Simanga https://thirdworldpressfoundation.org/collections/new-authors/products/for-you-this-circle

#DSPBposts #bookstodon #BlackHistoryMonth #bookish #booklovers #BooksWorthReading #readingchallenge #readingcommunity #booktok #booksta

Book cover for James Baldwin’s Another Country by Kim McLarin (Ig Publishing): Set in Greenwich Village, Harlem, and France, among other locales, James Baldwin’s Another Country is a novel of sexual, racial, political, and artistic passions that is stunning for its emotional intensity and haunting sensuality. In her volume in Ig’s acclaimed Bookmarked series, award-winning author and essayist Kim McLarin talks about how her the parameters and scope of her work have been influenced by this classic Baldwin novel. https://www.igpub.com/james-baldwins-another-country-bookmarked/

Book cover for Sorry to Bother You by Boots Riley (McSweeney's): Now a major motion picture, Sorry to Bother You offers a raucous view into class, politics, and race in a dystopic (but all too real) modern-day Oakland, California. This screenplay shows us code-switching as high art, and what it takes in today’s world to climb that capitalist ladder. https://store.mcsweeneys.net/products/sorry-to-bother-you?taxon_id=94

#DSPBposts #bookstodon #BlackHistoryMonth #bookish #booklovers #BooksWorthReading #readingchallenge #readingcommunity #booktok #booksta

Book cover for The Response of Weeds: A Misplacement of Black Poetry on the Prairies by Bertrand Bickersteth (NeWest Press): Bickersteth’s debut poetry collection explores what it means to be black and Albertan through a variety of prisms: historical, biographical, and essentially, geographical. Winner of the 2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award from the League of Canadian Poets. https://bookshop.newestpress.com/products/the-response-of-weeds

Book cover for Blue Opening: Poems by Chet’la Sebree (Tin House): With startling clarity and vivid tenderness, Blue Opening calls into question not only where to begin, but how to create, across thirty-two poems that press the fluid boundaries of form through sonnets, prose poems, odes, and two unforgettable poetic sequences. https://tinhouse.com/book/blue-opening/

Book cover for Cotton Blues by Edem Awumey (Mawenzi House): Translated from French by Phyllis Aronoff and Howard Scott. In an African town somewhere between the Sahel and the Atlantic coast, cotton planter Toby Kunta takes a Berlin journalist hostage in a museum showroom. Kunta asks for monetary compensation for himself and a group of peasants ruined by the production of genetically modified cotton. As the tension rises inside the museum and a standoff begins with the chief of police, Kunta begins to burn the exhibited works one by one and threatens to do the same with his prisoner. https://www.mawenzihouse.com/product/cotton-blues/

Book cover for Precise Tenderness: 100 Haiku by Kalamu ya Salaam (Third World Press): This volume is a unique exploration of haiku fueled by his seemingly boundless imagination, deft wordplay, and Black Aesthetic wanderings. This creative master artfully paints the page while orchestrating blues/jazz/gospel soundings. https://thirdworldpressfoundation.org/collections/new-authors/products/precise-tenderness
