In Worn, Adrienne Christian crafts a powerful collection of poetry that mirrors a photo album of legends, rumors, and memories exchanged over drinks in the early evening. Tenderness meets pain meets joy, offering up the voices of Black folks fostering connection with their children, their lovers, and themselves.
Christian's third collection takes readers through love and longing, manifesting how we cope and dress again after the harsh realities of life lay us bare. From ghazals about erotic kinks to the disappointment of a father, these poems explore the clothes we reach for first when loss strips us naked.
For readers of contemporary poetry, Black literature, and those seeking connection through shared experiences.
