White, Arisa: Who's Your Daddy

Augury Books, paperback Publication Date: March 1, 2021 Publisher Marketing: A lyrical, genre-bending coming-of-age tale featuring a queer, Black, Guyanese American woman who, while seeking to define her own place in the world, negotiates an estranged relationship with her father. "This beautifully, honestly conceived genius of a book shook me to the core.” —Dara Wier "What she gives us are archives, allegories, and wholly new songs.”—Terrance Hayes “In these crisply narrative poems, which unreel like heart-wrenching fragments of film, Arisa White not only names that gaping chasm between father and daughter, but graces it with its true and terrible face."—Patricia Smith
