Reviews

"Every now and then, but rarely, a book of poems comes along that is biblical in its authority and iconoclastic in its capacity to rearrange or explode the furniture, the nation, and the self. American Sex Tape(TM) is one of those."--Diane Seuss, author of frank: sonnets
"Split between a love of watching and the fear created by it, Jameka Williams demolishes misogynist, racist logic with weaponized line breaks and wrecking-ball wit. And then does something stranger, braver: she looks into the camera. Because this is a book about taking back power, it's also about the thin line between pleasure and collusion. 'I love to see it, ' she admits, 'I love to live inside that camera's orgasm.' Complex and messy and necessary in all the ways sex is, American Sex Tape(TM) is brilliant Black feminist truth."--Brian Teare
"A triumph of a debut. Part cultural criticism, part self-investigation, Williams defies genre convention. Her poems burst onto the page with purpose, veracity, tenacity, and the self-assuredness of a long-established literary dynamo."--Laura Joyce-Hubbard, TriQuarterly
