Cross Davis deploys stunning emotional range to uplift the mundane, interrogate the status quo, and ultimately create her own goddesses. Parenting, lust, household chores--all are fair game for Cross Davis's gimlet eye. Whether honoring her grief for Prince's passing while examining his role in midwifing her sexual awakening or contemplating travel and the gamble of being Black across this wide world, these poems tirelessly seek a path out of the labyrinth to hope.","brand":"Mad Creek Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45409821294743,"sku":"9780814257784","price":1339.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814257784.webp?v=1767917315","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-more-perfect-union-9780814257784","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
