Roxane Gay is an award-winning literary voice praised for her fearless and vivid prose, and her debut collection Ayiti exemplifies the raw talent that made her "one of the voices of our age" (National Post, Canada).

Clever and haunting by turns, Ayiti explores the Haitian diaspora experience. A married couple seeking boat passage to America prepares to leave their homeland. A mother takes a foreign soldier into her home as a boarder, and into her bed. And a woman conceives a daughter on the bank of a river while fleeing a horrific massacre, a daughter who later moves to America for a new life but is perpetually haunted by the mysterious scent of blood. Wise, fanciful, and daring, Ayiti is the book that put Roxane Gay on the map and now, with two previously uncollected stories, confirms her singular vision.

Great for reading with a small child.
Format: Board book
I read this every week from Oklahoma to my great granddaughter in California. The story is perfect for our situation, the cardboard pages are easy for her to turn the pages and that makes her feel like she is participating in the ready. Beautiful pictures and well written verse. We love it.

SIMPLY A TOUCHING, LOVELY BOOK FOR ANY AGE!
Format: Hardcover
This book is beautiful in every way! It expresses the deep, unconditional love parents have for their children. The message could be beneficial for children who have lost their parents or who don't see them every day. Or, it can be a simple as...these are the ways you can remember I love you when we're separated for the day! I purchased it for my daughter who just graduated from high school. I plan to give it to her on college move-in day. Reading it brought tears to my eyes, but it has such a special meaning. BUY THIS LOVELY BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE!!!

Great gift for new moms
Format: Hardcover
We are using this book as the "card" for people to sign for a coworkers shower. It is a sweet, simple book with great visuals and empty page space for signing.
