There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce by Morgan Parker
The only thing more beautiful than Beyoncé is God,and God is a black woman sipping rosé and drawing alavender bath, texting her mom, belly-laughing in thetherapist's office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. Morgan Parker stands at the intersectionsof vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust,of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist,tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altarto the complexities of black American womanhood inan age of non-indictments and deja vu, and a time ofwars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate andmourn. They are a chorus chanting: You're gonna giveus the love we need.
One World will publish her first nonfiction book in 2020. Parker graduated from Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in anthropology and creative writing and a master's degree in poetry. Her poetry and essays have appeared in a variety of media, including the Paris Review, The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-Hop, Best American Poetry 2016, the New York Times, and the Nation, among others. Parker is a Cave Canem graduate fellow and the recipient of a 2017 National Endowment for the Arts Literary Fellowship. She also won a Pushcart Award in 2016.
