Description
A deeply wrought and joyful debut poetry collection from an exciting new voice
Looping exultantly through the overlapping experiences of girlhood, Blackness, sex, and personhood in America, award-winning essayist and poet Kendra Allen braids together personal narrative and cultural commentary, wrestling with the beauty and brutality to be found between mothers and daughters, young women and the world, Black bodies and white space, virginity and intrusion, prison and freedom, birth and death. Most of all, The Collection Plateexplores both how we collect and erase the voices, lives, and innocence of underrepresented bodiesand behold their pleasure, pain, and possibility
Both formally exciting and a delight to read, The Collection Plateis a testament to Allens place as the voice of a generationand a witness to how we come into being in the twenty-first century.
