CANDACE WILLIAMS | POET

This book cover shows the title I AM THE MOST DANGEROUS THING, author name CANDACE WILLIAMS, and an abstract figure.

""I must suppress / the savage custom / of eloquence," Williams writes in this genre-bending and thoroughly beautiful collection, taking the reader with them on a journey through racism, misogyny, homophobia and all the other societal scourges over which truth can still occasionally prosper."
