The Body Family

Hope Wabuke is a writer whose star will continue to rise. She’s published widely including in The Guardian, The Root, Los Angeles Review of Books, etc. She writers criticism for NPR. Similar to Maya Marshall, she’s an educator and continues her stewardship for other writers. The contacts, community support and perhaps the buzz for her forthcoming memoir will help to lift this debut poetry collection up, and get it in mainstream audiences who are already familiar with her work.
