Mr. West

More about the book

Focusing on the intertwining lives of Kanye West and the poet, this debut collection examines the allure of celebrity and the deep personal connections we forge with their public narratives. Through a year of research, writing, and pregnancy, the author employs varied poetic forms—from prose poems to intricate sestinas—to engage with pop culture as a reflection of American identity. The work is both daring and groundbreaking, inviting readers to explore themes of media influence across gender and race. An online companion enhances the experience.
