The best memoirs transport you fully into the head, heart, and soul of the writer and their experiences. So it is with How to Say Babylon, the lyrical and searing memoir by award-winning poet Safiya Sinclair (@safiyasinclair). Winner of the National Book Critics Award, the book recounts her Jamaican childhood and her efforts to escape the patriarchal control of her strict Rastafarian father. The language, the island weather, her father’s countenance, and her struggle to be free—all will stay with you long after you stop reading. We can`t wait for Sinclair to join us this summer!
