Poignant and moving, this debut collection of poetry from Genesis Be bravely examines what it means to stay hopeful on the arduous journey to freedom.

Drawing on her activism and antiracist work as covered by the New York Times and VICE, Be examines tools of division and challenges our notion of freedom in an effort to combat racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. Equal parts delicate and unapologetic, People Not Things is a powerful debut that will speak to the hearts of readers from all walks of life.
