Poems of Color

Published by JAKE, Poems of Color is an intimate exploration of the young Black Jamaican-American experience. Told with rawness and tenderness, the collection explores issues of police violence, slavery, and racial passing, among others. "i am imploring you to love" Willow urges their readers, which shines through in their writing -- a sober yet hopeful ode to the beauty of Black identity, through a clear-eyed acknowledging of suffering that nevertheless concludes with a firm commitment to Black self and community love.
