"In her debut poetry collection, Brittany Rogers explores the audacity of Black Detroit, Black womanhood, class, luxury, materialism, and matrilineage. A nontraditional coming of age, Good Dress witnesses a speaker coming into her own autonomy and selfhood as a young adult, reflecting on formative experiences. With care and incandescent energy, the poems engage with memory, time, interiority, and community. The collection also nudges tenderly toward curiosity: What does it mean to belong to a person, to a city? Can intimacy and romance be found outside the heteronormative confines of partnership? And in what ways can the pursuit of pleasure be an anchor that returns us to ourselves?"-- Provided by publisher.
