Vessel: Poems
By Parneshia Jones
96 pages;
Milkweed Editions
Parneshia Jones' comforting and complex debut poetry collection pays
bittersweet homage to youth, family and her hometown of Chicago. Offering
advice in the poem "Haikus to a Younger Self", she
insists, "Mom is always right/Only about the stuff she knows; Try
everything at least once/It builds character."
