BOOK OF THE LITTLE AXE by Lauren Francis-Sharma - Electric Literature "56 Books By Women and Nonbinary Writers of Color to Read in 2020"

Electric Literature | January 2, 2020

“These are 2020 books by women and nonbinary writers of color that I personally happen to be excited about. It’s one list, inevitably incomplete. (If you see a book missing, please feel very welcome to post about it on social media, preorder it from your local bookstore, request it from your library, or, perhaps, all of the above.) Also incomplete is the term ‘of color,’ a flawed, complicated label with varied and ever-changing valences in and outside of the U.S. Finally, I love reading poetry, and such books of poetry are coming up in 2020—Natalie Diaz! Danez Smith! Monica Sok!—but I’m not as aware of what’s forthcoming from poets, so I’ve limited myself to prose.”
