Paperback. Condition: Good. The Bronx born activist and poet Roya Marsh returns with a riveting exploration of Black joy, collective action, and healing. what will come of what you leave behind? do you remember that time you survived? The poems in Roya Marsh's second collection, savings time, wear their raw feeling and revolutionary forcefulness on their sleeves. Alternating between confrontation and celebration, Marsh trains her unsparing eye on the twinned subjects of Black rage and Black healing with practiced, musical intention. In poems flitting between breathless prose and measured lyricism, Marsh contemplates the contradictions and challenges of Black life in America, tackling everything from police brutality and urban gentrification to queer identity, presidential elections, and pop culture, all while calling for a world where self-care, especially for Black women, is not just encouraged but mandated. "no one told the Black girl," she writes, "'see you later' was a prayer / begging us survive our own erasure." As unforgettable on the page as when recited in Marsh's legendary spoken-word performances, the poems in savings time are focused on both revolution and self-love, at once holding society accountable for its exploitation of Black life and honoring the joy of persisting nonetheless.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Growing up, Roya Marsh was considered "tomboy passing." With an affinity for baggy clothes, cornrows, and bandannas, she came of age in an era when the wide spectrum of gender and sexuality was rarely acknowledged or discussed. She knew she was "different," her family knew she was "different," but anything outside of heteronorm was either disregarded or disparaged. In this stunning debut, written to protest an absence of representation, Marsh recalls her early life and the attendant torments of a queer Black woman coming of age in America:I've been baptized twice / Washed over / Still gay / No choice / No Christian / No cure / Girl / No daddy / Daughter / No dresses / Jamaican / No accent / Girlfriend / No boyfriend / Won't tell a lie / But I'm always swallowing truth - From "in broad daylight black bipolar girls look grimey"In lush, powerful, and vulnerable verses, dayliGht unpacks traumas to unearth truths, revealing a deep well of resilience, a cutting sense of irony, and an astonishing fresh talent. A dazzling debut from a necessary new voice, Marsh's dayliGht is at once a clarion call for Black femme voices and a corrective to broken notions of sexuality and race.…
