Description: A hybrid collection that explores the dual nature of water as both a destructive and healing force, mirroring the experiences of Black women and girls. A hybrid collection of poetry and photography, Beyond the Watershed explores the various experiences of a Haitian American daughter and her Haitian immigrant mother. Nadia Alexis crafts a moving portrayal of generational trauma, domestic violence, survival, and reclamation, using stunning imagery drawing from the body, spirit, nature, and cityscapes. Alexis traces journeys to break freeA?documenting pain, making space for light, becoming a reckoning, connecting with spirit, and writing oneself into new seasons of safe waters, healthy love, and transformation. This vital debut affirms that there's 'nothing like the thirst / of Black girls who believe in their own dreams,' even as they navigate nonlinear paths to healing. 'Sometimes the clouds speak to me / & tell me to look beyond the burning,' the daughter declares, as she charts her own path forward.
