June-Bug in Spring is a contemporary poetry collection tracing the fragile, resilient journey of becoming. Through childhood memory, womanhood, love, grief, racial identity, and political awakening, this collection is written with unflinching honesty and quiet tenderness.
Divided into three sections-Momma Said, Man's Perception, and Ode-these poems move from personal reflection to social critique, examining family bonds, intimacy, mental health, cultural inheritance, and the cost of silence. These poems gives voice to the marginalized while honoring softness, growth, and survival in a world that often demands restraint.
At once intimate and confrontational, June-Bug in Spring is a meditation on identity, resilience, and the courage it takes to exist fully-like a June bug waiting for warmth, learning when to rise.
