Acerca de este título
“In Chet’la Sebree’s sensitive and tender hands, this book’s quest (and question) of home is captivating. An intimate rendering of the life of a Black woman artist.”—Imani Perry, National Book Award winner and author of Black in Blues
At eighteen, Chet’la Sebree began, as she writes, “perfecting the art of leaving.” After moving out of her parents’ house in Delaware for college, the lauded poet, essayist, and academic rarely kept the same address for more than two years—bouncing from city to city, country to country, perpetually in search of her next adventure.
For Sebree, traveling has been a life-long passion, forged during family road trips and vacations with friends; college study abroad programs in Europe; and far-flung writing residencies and job opportunities. She dreamed of one day taking her own Great American Road Trip, Jack Kerouac–style—except refashioned as a millennial Black woman who had also begun considering her next chapter: settling down and starting a solo fertility journey.
During the pandemic, Sebree thought she might finally get her chance to hit the road. But then, George Floyd was murdered, following the killings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Aubrey, and so many others. As America continued to reveal its most violent self, Sebree started to wrestle with the very idea of home: Where do I belong in a country not meant for people like me to survive? What does this mean for a child I might bring into it?
In Turn (W)here, Sebree turns to the page for answers, seamlessly weaving memoir with history and cultural criticism in a collection of inventive essays bound by themes of movement, home, inheritance, and belonging. Spanning continents, geographies, and states of mind, Sebree lights a pathway for the wanderer, the seeker—anyone propelled into the unknown by the desire for a place to truly belong.
Reseñas de la crítica
“In Chet’la Sebree’s sensitive and tender hands, this book’s quest (and question) of home is captivating. An intimate rendering of the life of a Black woman artist, in these pages genealogy is a journey, the heart is a map, and family is essential even when uncertain. . . . Insightful, vulnerable, layered, and full of love.”—Imani Perry, National Book Award winner and author of Black in Blues
“An exquisitely observed and multifaceted collection of essays . . . This is the sort of book that invites the reader to share with loved ones, compare notes, and read again.”—Maurice Carlos Ruffin, author of The American Daughters
“With a poet’s precision and care, Sebree has crafted an intricate map of one woman’s search for home. . . . A breathtaking essay collection that remains deeply rooted in history while forging ahead into the uncertain future.”—Lilly Dancyger, author of First Love
“Chet’la Sebree continues in the lineage of Dionne Brand, Katherine McKittrick, and Saidiya Hartman to trace and retrace home through language. . . . Turn (W)here charts new territory.”—Vanessa Angélica Villarreal, author of Magical/Realism
“A hearty feast for those of us at midlife starved for direction.”—Minda Honey, author of The Heartbreak Years
“An expansive topography of home through history, cultural criticism, and lived experience . . . Sebree writes beautifully about belonging and becoming, and how wanderlust is a crucial part of the equation.”—Michele Filgate, editor of What My Father and I Don’t Talk About
“Always trust a poet to deliver a beautiful memoir. . . . Chet’la Sebree’s essays about, broadly, searching for home as a Black woman in America, blend memoir, cultural criticism, and history and deliver a formally inventive, emotionally rich personal history that stretches beyond the bounds of the self.”—Literary Hub
