There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé by Morgan Parker

A fierce, intimate collection of poems that interrogates Black womanhood and American pop culture, blending sharp humor, surreal imagery, and raw grief to explore race, desire, family, sex, and trauma. The poems braid personal memory with references to celebrity, advertising, and social media to reveal how commodification and public spectacle shape bodies and selves, using bold formal shifts and a vivid lyric voice to reckon with pain while insisting on pleasure and resilience.
