Lyrical and haunting, visceral and exacting, sorrowland explores the vast and connected nature of violence, racism, queer identity, motherhood, healing, and memory. In the dissection of the physical experience and the mental toll of a constant chase, Solomon’s  precise and beautiful language pulls the reader in and doesn’t let go until the end.
