Thick with Trouble

From National Book Award finalist Amber McBride, In Thick with Trouble is a poetic collection that explores Black womanhood in the American South through the lens of Hoodoo spiritual tradition and reimagined tarot cards. The poems evoke themes of strength, resilience, and supernatural elements, creating a powerful portrayal of women who embody both defiance and vitality. This haunting and original work offers a compelling reflection on life, death, and identity outside the male gaze.
