The poems span interior and exterior landscapes, from the bedroom to the dance floor, and look to movies, fine art, childhood memory, history, and mental health for inspiration. Despite the sorrow and pain, Tenderness celebrates communal spaces as sites of resistance and healing, wonders at the restorative powers of art and erotic love, and celebrates the capaciousness of friendship. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 84 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 07 October 2021\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: BOA Editions, Limited\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a nation where violence and the threat of violence are a constant weather for queer Black people, where can the spirit rest? With lush language, the meditative poems in the Isabella Gardner Award-winning Tenderness examine the fraught nature of intimacy in a nation poisoned by anti-Blackness and homophobia. From the bedroom to the dance floor, from the natural world to The Frick, from the Midwest to Florida to Mexico City, the poems range across interior and exterior landscapes. They look to movies, fine art, childhood memory, history, and mental health with melancholy, anger, and playfulness. Even amidst sorrow and pain, Tenderness uplifts communal spaces as sites of resistance and healing, wonders at the restorative powers of art and erotic love, and celebrates the capaciousness of friendship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a nation where violence and the threat of violence are a constant weather for queer Black people, where can the spirit rest?
