Thrall: Poems

Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012.
First Edition. Hardcover.

First Edition, First Printing.

The follow-up volume to Natasha Trethewey’s Pulitzer Prize-wining collection of poetry Native Guard (2007). Tretheway served two terms as U.S. Poet Laureate from 2012-2014.

Publisher’s description: Natasha Trethewey's poems are at once deeply personal and historical exploring her own interracial and complicated roots and utterly American, connecting them to ours. The daughter of a black mother and white father, a student of history and of the Deep South, she is inspired by everything from colonial paintings of mulattos and mestizos to the stories of people forgotten by history. Meditations on captivity, knowledge, and inheritance permeate Thrall, as she reflects on a series of small estrangements from her poet father and comes to an understanding of how, as father and daughter, they are part of the ongoing history of race in America.
