COME IN AND STAY AWHILE

Christian J. Collier

Collage inspired by Harlem Renaissance artist Aaron Douglas's "The Creation," accompanying Christian J. Collier's poetry collection, "The Inheritance I'm Cloaked In," by the Black Southern poet.

The Inheritance I’m Cloaked In

From nine different bars in Hixson, Tennessee, to his grandmother’s cotton field, Collier’s poems map the Southern geography of memory and belonging.

I Was a Ferry Among the Stars

A poignant exploration of grief, memory, and the enduring connection to lost loved ones. In the streets of a city haunted by absence, solace is found in the eternal presence of those who have passed.
