"I'm Always so Serious is brilliant." --Terrance Hayes, winner of the National Book Award for Lighthead


Karisma Price's stunning debut collection is an extended meditation on Blackness, on family, on loss. Anchored in New Orleans and New York City, these poems braid personal and public histories into a cultural reckoning of past and present. James Booker speaks to Ringo Starr, a phone "Autocorrects 'Nigga' to Night, '" If Beale Street Could Talk is recast with characters from The Odyssey. In these pages there is grief, there is absence, there is violence--"We know that mostly everything around us / is measured in blood."--but there is also immense love and truth. Karisma Price has created a serious masterpiece, a book "so dark you have no other option but to call it / precious."
