Poetry

Perfect Black

By Crystal Wilkinson

About this book

Crystal Wilkinson writes about growing up in Kentucky, family, Black girlhood, and the ways color can shape how a person is seen. The poems move between memories of people and the physical details of the places they lived. The collection asks what a writer can recover by attending closely to the language and images of home.
