Dear Future Self is a powerful and deeply introspective chapbook from Linetta Alexander, a poet whose words carve out space for reckoning, release, and renewal. This collection moves fluidly through themes of love, self-discovery, trauma, and transformation, blending personal reflection with a broader cultural and ancestral consciousness.
With poems that speak to the weight of history and the urgency of the present, Alexander invites readers into a dialogue with the past, the self, and the unseen forces that shape our journeys. Whether through the reclamation of poetry as salvation in Rebirth, the raw vulnerability of Retraumatizing, or the sharp defiance of Not Your Magical Negro, this collection pulses with both tenderness and fire.
Anchored by the titular poem, Dear Future Self, a heartfelt plea for clarity and guidance, this chapbook is an offering of truth and testimony-an affirmation of self-love, radical imagination, and the audacity to dream forward.
For lovers of poetry that cuts deep and lingers long after the last line, Dear Future Self is a collection that dares to ask, listen, and become.
