UNRULY offers language to articulate the full spectrum of Black women's embodied realities—in all their pain, power, and possibility.In this powerful debut, Antoinette Cooper weaves poetry, memoir, and documentary evidence into an ineffable work of embodied storytelling. UNRULY honors the Black female body as a site of profound resilience and complex histories.With uncompromising honesty and lyrical precision, Cooper explores the intimate experiences of Black women—from historical medical abuses to contemporary health disparities, intergenerational trauma, societal beauty standards, and personal encounters with violence and healing. UNRULY refuses silence by (re)claiming our often unspoken and inviolable voice.This revelatory reading experience, at once deeply personal and universally resonant, offers a nuanced exploration of how past and present intertwine in Black women's bodies. Cooper's genre-defying approach invites us to witness ancestral legacies while envisioning paths to integration and liberation, announcing her as an essential voice in contemporary literature."Unruly powerfully unmasks the scream that resides deep within - a pain that never surfaced - raw and clear,  the voice that speaks for centuries of voices in our midst. Antoinette Cooper’s life, fight, and revelation cast into "Poetry of the Edge" is a magnetizing, passionate account of her personal and collective journey."  – Thomas Hübl, Co-founder, Pocket ProjectBy joining the book launch, you will:Witness and empower Black women's stories as medicine for personal and collective healing, honoring both ancestral wisdom and contemporary experiences.
