A Finalist for a 2025 NAACP Image Award (Outstanding Literary Work — Poetry)

The raw poems inside Song of My Softening study the ever—changing relationship with oneself, while also investigating the relationship that the world and nation has with Black queerness. Poems open wide the questioning of how we express both love and pain, and how we view our bodies in society, offering themselves wholly, with sharpness and compassion.
