Finalist for the 2017 National Book Award for Poetry

Winner of the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry (2017)

Acclaimed poet Shane McCrae's latest collection is a book about freedom told through stories of captivity. Historical persona poems and a prose memoir at the center of the book address the illusory freedom of both black and white Americans. In the book's three sequences, McCrae explores the role mass entertainment plays in oppression, he confronts the myth that freedom can be based upon the power to dominate others, and, in poems about the mixed-race child adopted by Jefferson Davis in the last year of the Civil War, he interrogates the infrequently examined connections between racism and love. A reader's companion is available at wesleyan.edu/wespress/readerscompanions.

Great for daily use under makeup
First, I'd like to say that this sunscreen stick is really convenient. It's moisturizing and blends in clear, so no white cast. Perfect for wearing under makeup, and it's non-comedogenic, so no worries about breakouts. Love how easy it is to apply and how lightweight it feels. Overall, a good choice for everyday sun protection.

Genuinely One of My Favorites Sunscreens in Existence
I use stick sunscreen around my eyes on a daily basis. It's less likely to run into my eyes and sting than regular sunscreen. However there can still be issues. Sometimes it still irritates my eye area, looks weird under makeup, pills, or (as with most mineral sunscreens) leaves a weird cast around my eye area. I was very pleasantly surprised by this sunscreen. It feels like very light weight balm that feels heavenly on the skin. It isn't sticky, greasy, and doesn't have a weird sunscreen smell. It's moisturizing without being too moisturizing, if that makes sense. Given the price point I am absolutely amazed at the quality. If you repackaged this sunscreen and sold it as a luxury product I would be none the wiser. This will be a new staple in my daily routine.

Good for on-the-go sun protection
This is a solid purchase because the compact size makes it easy to carry around. The velvety finish feels nice on the skin and blends in clear, which is great for all skin tones. It’s also quick and easy to apply.

I recommend this product for daily use
I recommend this product because it's gentle on my skin and works well for daily use. The compact size makes it easy to carry around, and it provides good UV protection with a velvety finish. Plus, it layers under makeup nicely and adds a subtle glow. The moisturizing formula keeps my skin hydrated. Overall, a great travel-friendly sunscreen that's non-comedogenic and suits all skin tones.

Great appearance but fumes burn eyes
I like the easy application and shear appearance. Slightly dewy look. I have been using for over a year but had to stop. Each time my eyes would become more sensitive to the “fumes” wafting off my cheek bones. Unfortunately I bought three sticks because I liked it so much, but now I just apply it to my legs.
