Self-Talk

A hybrid poetry/essay chapbook 

From Porkbelly Press:

Bediako’s sharp, image rich language combines essay and poems to lyrically paint the portrait of becoming oneself. Layering memory and experience from childhood on, her work weaves through mental health, Blackness, parenthood, language, instinct, medicine, and lineage. These poems and essays are present in the moments they craft, an offering where “I lay at your feet all I own”—“all the words that didn’t come,” and “all the words that did.”
