National Book Award finalist Ibi Zoboi illuminates the young life
of the visionary storyteller Octavia E. Butler in poems and prose.
Born into the Space Race, the Red Scare, and the dawning Civil
Rights Movement, Butler experienced an American childhood that
shaped her into the groundbreaking science-fiction storyteller
whose novels continue to challenge and delight readers fifteen
years after her death. An acclaimed and bestselling author Zoboi's
work is familiar on both bestseller and awards lists. Her novel in
verse Punching the Air was an instant bestseller and was honored
with a Walter Award and the LA Times Book Prize. Zoboi has a unique
connection with Butler. They share a birthday and she studied with
Butler at Clarion Workshop near the end of Butler's life. Features
Butler's own words and photos of documents from her childhood.
Zoboi spent a week with Butler's papers at the Huntington Library
in Los Angeles. Octavia Butler is more relevant than ever. Butler's
work is ascendent in the popular imagination. Adaptations are in
the works, including an FX series based on Kindred slated for 2022.
Her most famous novels have been adapted into bestselling graphic
novels.
