Seraphim
Seraphim shares the joyous rhythm that sustains Black womxn.
Seraphim, Angelique Zobitz’s debut collection, radiates with light and wonder. These poems reveal how Black womxn and girls carve out, create, and pass along that lightness in their daily lives. Zobitz pays homage to an array of Black womxn, including bell hooks, Roberta Flack, and Megan Thee Stallion. If you’ve ever wondered how Black womxn can glow so incandescent, this collection is the answer. This isn’t about pain, despair, or the indomitable strength of Black womxn, but rather a vibrant celebration of the love and joy at the forefront of their lives. Seraphim speaks in many voices—sensual, angry, defiant, soft, vulnerable, and continuously reborn.
