Brown Clay

Brown Clay is a collection of poems written from 2015 to the present day highlighting topics such as identity, healing from trauma, relationships, empowerment and Black liberation. Isabel Villarreal is a Black/Latina queer American poet and artist based in Portland, Oregon. Follow her words of empowerment with the intention of Black liberation and representation to enter a dreamscape of self discovery and acceptance. In this book, Bella explores the flow of cosmic energy in reclaiming freedom of expression as a Black queer woman and aims to understand herself, the world around her, and her experiences. Brown Clay explores the idea to be unapologetically Black and embrace the intersectionality of tangled roots in identity.
