A Vessel Born to Float

Poignant and beautifully examined, poet Yazmin Monét Watkins takes readers on an introspective journey through the intersection of race, gender, sexuality, family, self-love, and all things Black Girl Magic.

Years in the making, A Vessel Born to Float is a love letter to every version of writer and actress Yazmin Monét Watkins' former self and a shining light that brings hope, healing, and an understanding embrace to a generation reaching out for community and aching to be seen. With this stunning poetic debut, Yazmin wants you to know she sees you, too.
