Description

At the intersection of womxnhood, blackness, queerness, and mental illness lives the “unreliable narrator.” Told in three parts, Ayanna Florence’s debut full length poetry collection is a surgical yet vulnerable analysis of victimhood, trauma, and triumph through the lens of personal experience. With a critical eye and a gentle hand, Florence paints the page with her memories, weaving between the queer black girl’s existence in the margins and her own inner world. Rooted in brutal honesty, emotionality, and fearlessness, “unreliable narrator” is unafraid of the stories it holds, giving both writer and reader permission to speak their truth without apology. Captivating and unfiltered, Florence’s singular voice cuts through the darkness and floods the room with light, embracing the importance of practicing self love through grief, healing from abuse, and learning to trust yourself again. Both heart-wrenching and celebratory, “unreliable narrator” is a reclamation of self, a battle cry in the face of harm, a deep breath amidst the stormy cycles we hope to free ourselves from. </p><p>
