In this book, Christian Hanz Lozada explores the intersections of being born into a poor White family and an educated Brown one while growing up first in a predominantly Black neighborhood and then a White one. Lozada writes through a confessional lens that blends love and cruelty into a unique language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough sometimes funny and regularly biting verse, the poet navigates the intricate terrain of being mixed-race in a world often defined by binaries. From disparate cornerstone experiences like the orphaning of White Grandma to babysitting Mixed Nephew, the poems in this collection offer readers a glimpse into the author's journey of holding the tension between two truths. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith each poem, Lozada invites readers to join him on a transformative odyssey from self-hatred to half-dislike, ultimately demonstrating that one's whole self need not be tolerable as long as they keep trying. This poetry collection is a testament to the beauty of imperfection and the and unique geographies of the attempt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6309941\"\u003eChristian Hanz Lozada\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Moontide Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957799148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957799145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moontide Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44707553902829,"sku":"9781957799148","price":21.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_1be4d685-c93a-459c-a3de-583310f23547.jpg?v=1703972552","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/hes-a-color-until-hes-not-9781957799148","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
