The Art of Naming My Pain, 2nd Edition, features a new preface by artist and poet Kellie Richardson, as well as new artwork on the interior and exterior of the book. These new components root us in a deeper understanding, and witnessing, of Richardson's lived experiences.
In an era of highly curated personas and unrealistic self-expectation, Richardson offers readers a stunningly honest account of her struggles with identity, relationships, mental health and self-love. The Art of Naming My Pain, 2nd Edition, collects Richardson's poetry, essays and art as she navigates what it is for a Black, queer, broken women to seek joy in a world that says she doesn't deserve it.
This book is an unfolding of her journey, bearing witness to the possibility of life after self-loathing. Richardson's voice is refreshingly candid in this sophomore collection, shedding light on issues we all face, though few have the courage to own in the public sphere.
