'I Find Myself in Simple Things writes into a world of renewed racism and white supremacy, where black boys are expected to fail and black girls eroticised and ignored. Desree speaks directly to a younger generation inheriting this collective grief, and works hard to guide them through. It is a book about love.The language is angled and insistent, a metronome of resistance in every piece. And throughout, there a sudden moments of poetry, like rip tides, that threaten much larger questions. 'You will look up to men who don't look up to see the sky'. Stunning.' - Joelle Taylor, Poet, Performer and Author of 'Songs My Enemy Taught me'
Desree's I Find My Strength In Simple Things comes loaded with honesty, clarity, and the bottomless depth of a tremendous writer & performer applying her skills to create a collection of poems that battle racial and gender injustices, display self-empowerment, and aren't afraid to be chillingly sincere in an age of cynicism. - The Repeat Beat Poet, Artist, Culture Producer and Host of Lunar Poetry Podcast
