Bøger af Janae Johnson

Whether you are beyond your twenties, currently experiencing, or anticipating these young adult years, you will enjoy this collection of provocative and transparent poetry and prose. Twentysomethings expresses the range of discovery, emotions and growth that influence who we become. Janae J shares a variety of experiences including, unrequited and all-consuming love, daddy issues, being true to yourself, sisterhood and self-validation.

In Janae Johnson's debut poetry collection, the concept of being tenderheaded is less about Black hair; more how we are taught to disguise pain through suppression of macro and micro traumas. What began as a book of poetry about women's basketball transformed into a coming-of-age story centering Black queer masculinity, emotional restoration and belonging. From lyrically experimental to personified prose, each poem encourages humor to rise after an eight hour hair appointment and ultimately decide to wear a ponytail.
