    Juxtaposing experiences of discrimination with love and resilience, this debut poetry collection is a critique of intimate and institutional violence and hostility, entwined with a celebration of beauty and fierceness.

    What is the difference between institutional violence enacted by trusted individuals and intimate violence enacted by loved ones? This collection of free verse, haiku, and narrative poetry takes the reader by the hand and walks them through these parallel experiences from a personal perspective. In a study of relationships of power, these poems delve into the complex structures of feminism, nature, and discrimination. A balanced mixture of reflection, celebration, energy, and sadness unfolds within the pages; drawing on a contemporary style, the author creates the space to feel grief, loss, sorrow, and disappointment in equal measure with joy, contemplation, excitement, and elation.

    Delores V. Mullings was born and raised in the beautiful island of Jamaica, in a small rural community surrounded by love, water, sunshine and all things natural. She immigrated to Canada as a youth and is blessed with a large family that includes two living children—Black queens. She is a multi-talented, no-holds-barred, unapologetic free-spirited proud woman of African descent residing in the Black diaspora. Her love of water, moonlight, and nature drives her desire to live in small urban centres and rural areas. Delores is a budding poet whose work is an act of resistance to racial violence and injustice, anti-Black racism, and white supremacy, while also embracing love, resilience, courage, and boldness like the fiery Jamaican Yahdie that she is. She lives in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and is Memorial University of Newfoundland’s first Black senior administrator and first Vice Provost of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism.
