When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humankind from a devastating threat.

Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin.

For starters, the title unapologetically alerts us to the collection’s wider magnanimous project: who these poems are for. As the National Book Award finalist confirms point-blank in a note on the title: “this book was titled homie because I don’t want non-black people to say my nig out loud.
