We Inherit What the Fires Left

William Evans's poetry collection, We Inherit What the Fires Left, explores the themes of race, inheritance, and resilience through a candid and emotionally charged lens. Drawing from his experiences as a Black man in the American suburbs, Evans examines the legacies passed down across generations and the personal costs involved. Through intimate reflections and vivid scenes, the collection offers both a raw look at marginalized lives and a message of hope and resilience.
