Robin Coste Lewis’s National Book Award-winning collection presents a triptych exploring the historical and cultural construction of the Black female figure. At its center, the title poem functions as a narrative archive, composed entirely of titles of Western artworks spanning from antiquity to the present day. By juxtaposing these historical labels with personal, autobiographical lyricism, Lewis interrogates the intersection of race, desire, and the visual representation of identity.
