What is quiet when it isn't silence? Where does quiet exist--and what liberating potential might it hold? These poems dwell on ideas of black interiority, intimacy, and selfhood, and they celebrate as fiercely as they mourn. With a metaphysical edge and a formal restlessness attuned to both the sonics and the inadequacies of language, \u003ci\u003eQuiet\u003c\/i\u003e navigates the tension between the impulse to guard one's inner life and the knowledge that, as Audre Lorde writes, \"your silence will not protect you.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Quiet: Poems | Victoria Adukwei Bulley | Hardcover | 9780593535646 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1778379","offer_id":49814220996760,"sku":"1778379","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81BzokSAmFL.jpg?v=1788534789","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/quiet-poems","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
