In this new collection of poems, Weary Kingdom, DeLana R. A.
Dameron maps a journey across emotional, spiritual, and geographic
lines, from the familiarity of the honeysuckle South to a new
world, or a new kingdom-Harlem. Her poems traverse the streets of
this Black mecca with a careful eye cast toward the intimacies of
the exterior. Still, as the poems move throughout the built
environment, they navigate matters of death, love, love loss, and
family against the backdrop of a city that has yet to become home.
Indeed what looms over this weary kingdom is a longing for the
certainties of a lover's touch, the summer's sun, and the comforts
of a promised land up North. And as the poet longs, so do readers.
Ultimately they grow aware of Utopia's fragility.
