"[G]orgeous in its redefining of self." - PBS Selector Yomi Ṣode.
Our book of the week is Altar, a collection that encourages flourishing over fading, an exploration of the intricacies of sacrifice and reflections of many kinds - our Spring Recommendation by Desree, published by Bad Betty Press.
Here, against the sky is Altar, a debut collection that opens into an expanse of pages glimmering with vivid and often devastating snap shots. Altar maps youth’s resilience, family’s complexity, gentrification’s effects and the strength of the Black female body.
Reflections on Black British identity, queer joy, place and belonging, faith and consent, stretch through this collection’s journey of reclamation. We can’t wait to invite you into this collection by award-winning writer and spoken word artist Desree!
