The Yellow Suitcase - Hardcover

by Djelloul Marbrook (Author), Kurt Lovelace (Introduction by)

"You wounded me. The wounds grew wings," so opens The Yellow Suitcase, lines that it grabs you and won't let go. Poems land like a palm on the chest, tender, fierce, true. If lyric that aches and heals speaks to you, someone who loves a gut-punched poem, poems that actually do something: name pain, map it, and offer a way forward? Half-caste, tidewrack, salvors, angels, the people in these poems won't let you look away. Thunder in the veins, a barn, a suitcase set down, these poems happen with the force of weather, perfect for late-night reading and storm playlists.
