We Inherit What the Fires Left: A Poetry Collection by William Evans

Description

Simon & Schuster (paperback, 03/24/2020)

Publisher marketing: This eloquent collection explores not only what these inheritances are composed of, but what price the bearer must pay for such legacies, and the costly tolls exacted on both body and spirit. Evans writes searingly from the perspective of the marginalized, delivering an unflinching examination of what it is like to be a black man raising a daughter in predominantly white spaces, and the struggle to build a home and a future while carrying the weight of the past.
