Poet and journalist Shayla Lawson follows their National Book Critics' Circle Finalist This Is Major with these daring and exquisitely crafted essays, where Lawson journeys across the globe, finds beauty in tumultuous times, and powerfully disrupts constraints of race, gender, and disability.
In their new book, Shayla Lawson reveals how traveling can itself be a political act, when it can be a dangerous world to be Black, femme, nonbinary, and disabled. With their signature prose, at turns muscular and luminous, Lawson explores layered meanings within love, time, and the self.
Through encounters with a gorgeous gondolier in Venice, an ex-husband in The Netherlands, and a lost love on New Year’s Eve in Mexico City, Lawson’s travels bring unexpected wisdom about life in and out of love. They learn the strength of friendships, and the dangers of beauty during a near escape in Egypt. They examine Blackness in post dictatorship Zimbabwe, then take us on a secretive tour of Black freedom movements in Portugal.
Through a deeply insightful journey, Lawson leads readers from a castle in France, to a hula hoop competition in Jamaica, to a traditional theater in Tokyo, to a Prince concert in Minnesota, and finally to find liberation on a beach in Bermuda, exploring each location—and their deepest emotions—to the fullest. In the end, they discover how trials of marriage, grief, and missed connections, can lead to self transformation and unimagined new freedoms.

Great size
Size: 21 Inch by 37 Inch
What a great pillow, finally one that fits inside my oversized king bed shams perfectly, filled it out fully, fluffy but full, has good support, not a soft or a hard pillow just really full all the way to the corners, made very well good quality, but this would actually be a good bed pillow but for me its for my shams & I couldn't be more pleased, highly recommend.

Revised review
Size: 20 Inch by 26 Inch
I have ordered many of these pillows and loved them! Nice and squishy but didn’t flatten like down pillows. I needed a bunch for Airbnb but they are very pricey. Was reading the reviews and several said that the pillows had changed. I thought, how much could they have changed? So I went ahead with purchase. I felt like I may as well have gone to Walmart and bought a cheap foam pillow.
Update: finally tried the pillow myself. Although there is a definite difference, it is very soft and fluffy. Changed my rating from 2 to 4 stars.
