In Your Hands by Brian Pinkney5/27/2023 ![]() Because for children like Omari, the stakes are as high as their mothers’ love is deep. ![]() For all its beauty and lyricism, Weatherford’s book doesn’t equivocate. But because Omari is black, his mother’s prayers take on a striking and sobering specificity: she asks for his safety in neighborhoods “beyond our own” and “as you cast a longer shadow,/ that you will be viewed as a vessel to be steered/ rather than a figure to be feared.” Pinkney (On the Ball) uses sweeping, expressive ink lines and radiant washes of color to create both an impressionistic mood and poignant immediacy. ![]() The next few years will be defined by an intense physical connection-“I kiss your scrapes and scratches/ and wipe your occasional tears,” writes Weatherford ( Freedom in Congo Square)-and then she will need to let go. A mother dreams about the future as she cuddles her newborn son, Omari. ![]()

The fifth season series order5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() After a self-described tough journey into the publishing world, she has used her platform to speak out against racism, climate change, and gentrification, among other social issues. Jemisin has published ten novels and many short stories. It says what it means without flinching, redefining “dark fantasy” and unearthing the specific literary purpose it should serve. It avoids navel-gazing and violent spectacle, channeling its uglier elements into hard-hitting commentary on marginalization, climate change, and sexual politics. Her 2015 Hugo-earning novel, the first in a trilogy of subsequent winners, uses its apocalyptic bleakness for a tangible, relevant impact. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season, however, has sharpened the diluted genre label in my mind. I’ve picked up two kinds of self-declared “dark fantasy” books in the past year: vanilla fantasy with nary a brutal element, and simplistic bro-fantasy that revels in white patriarchal nihilism. ![]() The meaning of this genre is self-evident – it’s fantasy, but edgier – but it’s a capacious descriptor, and it rarely refers to an actual tone or set of tropes. In the wake of Game of Thrones, works labeled “dark fantasy” have pervaded the literary market. ![]() |
