“Vulnerable. The gift of a Black woman’s heart. A fluid and beautiful book of poetry.”
-Brandi LaShay, actress, director, and co-author of Broken Wings Still Fly
“An utterly breathtaking collection—rhythm, raw vulnerability, lyrical language, and an original poetic voice. A warm hug and a safe place. It is a letter to the young girl I wish I had loved better.”
-Alexis Mitchell, author of the I Write, Therefore I Am series, Hope Chest, and the attic
Some of life’s most beautiful things go through phases. Brittany Renee’s publishing debut, Finding Phillis on the Dark Side of the Moon, is a poetic coming-of-age collection that waxes and wanes through identity, mental health, faith, relationships, and ultimately, self-acceptance. Composed of deeply introspective and dynamic poems, Finding Phillis invites you to witness a young Black woman’s journey to discover who she is, how she loves, and where she comes from.
