You Get What You Pay For

In "You Get What You Pay For," award-winning poet Morgan Parker presents her first essay collection, exploring the complexities of Black womanhood and well-being in a world that often marginalizes them. Through deeply personal narratives and sharp observations, she delves into themes of loneliness, societal beauty standards, and the cultural implications of public figures, all while critiquing the intersection of race and mental health in America. With her signature wit and insight, Parker invites readers into a profound exploration of identity and the quest for safety and understanding.
