Samar Jade’s Blue Violet is an unapologetic declaration of our (w)holy right to exist beyond human constraints of the mind or any supremacist doctrines that have preached otherwise. With every poem, Samar Jade moves us not only through the pain of abandonment and rejection by others, but through the deepest agony of the abandonment and rejection we then do to and inside of each of ourselves. The lessons shared in this penetrating constellation of poems are ones that have the potential to forge us as who and what we truly BE. These poems are medicine. Take as (w)holy directed.

–Author of Black Girl at the Intersection, co-founder of Writing What Is: A Writing Circle for BIPOC Womxn and Femmes, LeTonia Jones

“Samar X Jade‘s numinous poetry is revelation, affirmation, and celebration. It does what the best poetry does, makes you feel. This collection is a marvel.”

–Claudia Love Mair, Author, Coordinator of the Kentucky Black Writers Collaborative
