This exquisite debut poetry collection delves into the past and present of California’s Bay Area, meditating on themes of family, migration, girlhood, and identity amidst a backdrop of urban redevelopment, gentrification, and the erasure of Black communities. Wendy M. Thompson meticulously charts a region where race, class, and language are but a few of the fault lines that fracture society, sparking recurrent tremors of violence and resistance and aftershocks of displacement and belonging.
