This landmark anthology brings together a rich chorus of voices to map the complex terrain of queer female desire, racial identity, and displacement. Co-edited by trailblazing literary figures Makeda Silvera and Stephanie Martin, the collection uses the metaphor of the sweet, resilient sapodilla fruit to anchor verses that navigate the intersections of colonial history, systemic erasure, and the liberating power of love between women. Featuring both established and emerging poets from diverse Black, Indigenous, Asian, and mixed-heritage backgrounds, this collection serves as a vital historical and emotional archive of queer women of color reclamation and creative resistance.
