Download or read book Lessons on Being Tenderheaded written by Janae Johnson and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Janae Johnson's debut poetry collection, the concept of being tenderheaded is less about Black hair; more how we are taught to disguise pain through suppression of macro and micro traumas. What began as a book of poetry about women's basketball transformed into a coming-of-age story centering Black queer masculinity, emotional restoration and belonging. From lyrically experimental to personified prose, each poem encourages humor to rise after an eight hour hair appointment and the ultimate decision to wear a ponytail.
