<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A poetry book by the author of <i>God Loves Hair</i>: a bold and timely interrogation of skin.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Vivek Shraya's debut collection of poetry is a bold and timely interrogation of skin--its origins, functions, and limitations. Poems that range in style from starkly concrete to limber break down the barriers that prevent understanding of what it means to be racialized. Shraya paints the face of everyday racism with words, rendering it visible, tangible and undeniable. </p><p><b>Vivek Shraya </b>is a writer, musician, and filmmaker whose previous books include <i>God Loves Hair </i>and <i>She of the Mountains</i>. She lives in Toronto.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This brave and very contemporary lyrical collection dares to ask the unspoken yet screaming questions, to finish the sentence that hurts, that reveals, that provokes, that celebrates. Like a Durga goddess, Shraya juggles with deft hands the multiple aspects of desire, race, gender, queerness, and contemporary pop culture. --Shani Mootoo, author of <em>Moving Forward Sideways like a Crab</em> and <em>Cereus Blooms at Night</em> <p/>A stark, bold poetry debut. Shraya writes on, through, and about skin and color -- and the meanings we make of both. This beautiful collection is the rawest consideration of race, racism, and identity that I've read in a while. --<em>AfterEllen.com</em><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Vivek Shraya: Vivek Shraya is a writer, musician, performer, and filmmaker. His previous books include the novel <i>She of the Mountains</i> and the YA book <i>God Loves Hair</i>, and he has been shortlisted for Lambda Literary Awards three times. He has read and performed at shows, festivals and post-secondary institutions internationally. <p/>
