on a date with disappointment (April 1, 2025)
A communion of spirit and self, on a date with disappointment invites you to dine with your heart and soul.
Roxbury Poetry Festival’s 2023 Winner Najya Williams’s latest chapbook works to understand the hardships and joys of family, love, and heartbreak. Entrancing in form and style, these poems trace relationships to the self and others through different moments in life—speaking to the complexities of black womanhood and seeking definition to oneself, loved ones, and the world.
on a date with disappointment is intimately breathtaking. A conversation, a journey, a holy incantation that belongs on every shelf.
