"With Build Yourself a Boat, Camonghne Felix heralds a thrillingly new form of storytelling, as much investigation as it is song, as broken as it is doused in genuine strength. These poems are packed with embodiments--not depictions--of Black female pain, empowerment, memory, and discovery. This is a fantastically tender book, generous in its precision and thoughtful in its experimentation. This debut does not come quietly or shyly--Felix is an applaudable master of language, inventively carving and pulling at words and sounds to assemble the parts of this story. Here is a voice that commands, insists, reiterates, and consumes--a voice that has earned its right to shout freely, with curiosity and aliveness and heart." --Morgan Parker, author of Magical Negro "Camonghne Felix's debut poetry collection, Build Yourself a Boat, is about the trauma and pain of black womanhood. Felix explores what it means, politically to be a black woman in a world of Trump and personally, exploring the ways heartbreak and other points of pain change a person and their body. Build Yourself a Boat was exactly what I needed to read, and revisit, this season as men decided what women should do with their bodies and as I learned to manage heartbreak." --Arriel Vinson, Electric Literature "Centering on black, female identity, Camonghne Felix's Build Yourself a Boat is an exquisite and thoughtful collection that should be on everyone's TBR." --Bustle "Camonghne Felix uses profound language to explore the policing of the Black body, and Build Yourself a Boat bridges the gap between artistry and the world of politics, connecting Black womanhood and Felix's coming of age in New York City." --Blavity "These poems occupy space on the page, but also claim access for a voice." --Tara Betts, Newcity "Every few seasons, we get a piece of art that sees us whole, that knows the smell of our hiding places, that will never let us hear it or ourselves the same again. Build Yourself a Boat is one of the most soulful, genius pieces of art that has ever seen, felt and heard me. I tried to run away from these poems. They welcomed, understood and side-eyed my fear. I look forward to bringing this book into all my classes, my relationships and sacred rooms for the rest of my life. It's really that good." --Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy "Camonghne Felix is a brilliant writer, thinker, imaginer, builder--a young leader who shifts and opens the possibilities for a more just, better lit world, with each step, each word, each question." --Kathy Engel "Where is the room for Black folks to be in their bodies? Framed here in this book, between a slip of 'Weary' and 'DISCLAIMER,' is a theory. [Felix's] footnotes articulate spaces in which we might sink or swim, or skate. She declares, 'you can't un-see me,' skewering American political nostalgia--liberal and conservative. As I type this, I right click and choose 'Add to Dictionary' in order to erase the red wave under her name that signifies a mistake to be addressed. I choose to include her in my lexicon 'because we're looking at a critical fault otherwise.' Who else could possibly do this impossible work justice?" --Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon, author of Open Interval
