Lilith, But Dark by Nichole Perkins
5.0
Wow. This book fucked my whole shit up. This book is only 60 pages but took me months to read because I had to keep walking away and coming back. It is packed with so much...muchness.
Nichole Perkins writes about being a Black woman, living in Tennessee, depression, depression eating, relationships with: men, her family, herself.
I can't speak to being a Black woman or living in Tennessee, but the rest knocked me the fuck out. And EVERYTHING was written beautifully. I dog-eared all the poems that punched me in the gut or made me stop and it was at least half the book. I'll come back when I have the book on me to list some of my favorites, but wow, Perkins really understands the human condition and knows how to write about it beautifully.
