Acclaimed poet Kiki Petrosino presents her highly anticipated first full-length essay collection, Bright: A Memoir. This captivating work of lyric nonfiction delves into the life of the author, who straddles cultural worlds. "Bright," a slang term used to refer to light-skinned individuals of interracial American descent, serves as the focal point for an in-depth exploration of the author's upbringing in a blended Black and Italian American family. The essay collection seamlessly weaves together moments of memoir, archival research, close reading, and reverie, offering a profound contemplation on the enduring legacies of enslavement and racial discrimination in America. Positioned at the intersection of public and private histories, Bright poses thought-provoking questions about love, heritage, identity, and creativity. Through her poignant and insightful narratives, Petrosino invites readers to reflect on the complexities of human experience and the ongoing struggle for social justice.
