As it sings, this collection of prose, poetry, and short stories gives voice to the things you always felt but couldn't put into words. To illustrate the nuanced realities of the black experience. To own history and selfhood in the face of oppression. To realize the pain, anxiety, displacement, depression, grief, love, and healing. To let you know that you are not alone.
Origins: The Hummingbird’s Heart
Diving into heart and healing, this second installment of the Origins trilogy is a beating drum of life, a renaissance of selfhood, a much-awaited homecoming. Full of creation as it flows, the hummingbird’s heart thrums, calling you gently to action with a push further into yourself, your magic, and your love. A celebration. A manifestation. An embrace. The questions, and the answers.
Reviews
““This book is a heartbreaking Claudia-Rankine inspired version that retells the reality of loss, survival and living as a black woman/person in the U.S, and especially in our current political times. The poems, the essays, the words are breathtaking journeys into microagressions, privilege, shedding light onto the lack of resources and support and failed system that a black person has to try to successfully live in (such as the deprivation of mental health resources, holding the line with our boyfriend while he’s in the car, always thinking about what will happen next when a police comes to stop him— these are just two examples out of the many mentioned in this book), and how the black community continues to survive despite their small blackbird-trapped deaths every day.
It has been a true honor to read such a powerful book, written by an even stronger/more powerful woman.””
