      About This Book

      In a powerful debut, rising star Sophia Thakur brings her spoken word performance to the page.

      Be with yourself for a moment.
      Be yourself for a moment.
      Airplane mode everything but yourself for a moment.

      From acclaimed performance poet Sophia Thakur comes a stirring collection of coming-of-age poems exploring issues of identity, difference, perseverance, relationships, fear, loss, and joy. From youth to school to family life to falling in love and falling back out again—the poems draw on the author's experience as a young mixed-race woman trying to make sense of a lonely and complicated world. With a strong narrative voice and emotional empathy, this is poetry that will resonate with all young people, whatever their background and whatever their dreams.
