Wherever We Are God Is

Abstract

Wherever We Are God Is, is a poetry collection that centers the coming-of-age of one and many Black femme speakers, mapping methods of becoming onto Harlem and other urban landscapes as starting points, havens, heavens, or places to recall. Time happens and unhappens, the dead rise and un- rise. This collection is autobiographical in that it documents family histories, things passed down, interrogates queerness, and does intentional naming work on behalf of the voices and experiences documented.
