In this raw and powerful debut poetry collection, L.M. Harris explores the complex journey of a young Black woman navigating faith, heartbreak, identity, and self-discovery. Through intimate and unflinching verse, Harris creates a poignant narrative that resonates with anyone who has experienced deep emotion, questioning, and the struggle to find wholeness after being broken.
The collection is organized into thirty-five poems that journey through various aspects of the author's experiences:
Harris doesn't shy away from difficult truths about addiction, depression, family fractures, and loves that weren't meant to last. Yet within this exploration of pain, she discovers unexpected moments of grace and self-acceptance. The collection ultimately offers a testament to resilience and the journey toward finding light even in darkness.
What makes this collection distinctive is Harris's ability to blend raw emotional honesty with thoughtful reflection, creating poetry that serves as both confession and revelation. Her voice is authentic and powerful, speaking to readers who have ever felt too deeply, loved too hard, or struggled to reconcile faith with desire.
"Another Perspective of Being a Sad Black Girl" offers no easy answers but instead provides something more valuable: the honest testimony of a heart determined to find meaning and beauty even when surrounded by challenges.
