A powerful fusion of poetry, memoir, and history, this groundbreaking collection makes visible the stories of Black women's experiences with medical racism and bodily autonomy. From a TEDx speaker, collective trauma facilitator, and advisory board member for City University School of Medicine's Narrative Medicine Track-this is more than a book; it's a reckoning.
Cooper's astonishing debut collection remembers, rewinds and frees the harmed haints to roam the hospitals. -Rodney Terich Leonard, author of Sweetgum & Lightning
When medical trauma meets historical erasure, UNRULY maps the terrains of personal and ancestral memory, giving voice to both individual and collective experiences of Black women's bodies. From the mothers of gynecology to contemporary medical discrimination, these poems become incantations for healing and transformation.
UNRULY offers language to the pervasive assaults on Black women's bodies and spirits while daring to imagine a future beyond this legacy of pain.
10% of the author's proceeds will be donated to Black Exhale, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization creating spaces for healing intergenerational trauma in Black communities.
