"The essays andpoems in Bigger Than Bravery are both expansive and remarkablyintimate. After a year in which the longstanding inequities faced by Blackpeople and communities were laid starkly bare, these pieces offer resistanceand political commentary, yes. But they also--in prose and poetry that is thought-provoking,moving, and wise--delve into deeply personal stories of longing and solitude, thepleasures of food and friendship, family histories, and the meaning of home.'Resilience' is an overused and sometimes overvalued concept, and yet that'sexactly what kept coming to mind as I read this fine collection: the writers'steadfast insistence not just on surviving, butthriving; on wresting joy from a time of crisis and loss. This collection willcompel and enrich readers, and leave them ultimately hopeful." --Nina Revoyr, author of Wingshooters and Southland, "A map of ancestral knowledge, revelatory insight, and feelings laid bare . . . the book proves that there is magic in rejecting the universality of a single yearlong experience. . . . These pages share poems of hope, narratives of loss, anger, fear, loneliness, togetherness, death, and most potently, life, to paint a portrait . . . resonant to all." -- Library Journal , Editors' Pick "A brilliant chronicle of the Black experience in the age of Covid-19. As this generation's leading writers struggle to live with both the virus and rising social injustice, their grief over lost loved ones, personal fears, and the pervading loneliness of isolation eventually lead them on the path to self-rediscovery. Valerie Boyd's Bigger Than Bravery isn't just an anthology; it is a survival guide. As the country slowly finds itself returning to normal life, the authors' reflections on Black resilience and reclamation not only have the power to heal but provide hope and a road map for a brighter, more inclusive future." --Courtney B. Vance, Tony- and Emmy-winning actor "Heart-wrenching, funny, and outrageously human, these pieces help us reflect on a dark period of a global pandemic and the shifting meanings of normalcy." --Nicole Dennis-Benn, author of the New York Times Best Seller Patsy "In this anthology, Black writers explore the courage, the fear, and all the mottled emotions in between that ruled us during the most uncertain days of the pandemic. Their powerful essays and poems take the breath away, then help us to breathe again." --Jacqueline Woodson, author of the New York Times Best Sellers Brown Girl Dreaming and Red at the Bone "After a year in which the longstanding inequities faced by Black people and communities were laid starkly bare, these pieces offer resistance and political commentary, yes.

The timely collection provides the balm of comfort and joy we all need to overcome this peril, however long it takes." --Charlayne Hunter-Gault, American civil rights activist, journalist, and foreign correspondent, "Eloquent and riveting, Boyd''s collection delivers not only, as she promises in her introduction, ''a long exhalation, a silent prayer, a solace and a comfort'' but also, in the words of Imani Perry, a celebration of Blackness as ''an immense and defiant joy.'' This one''s not to be missed." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, Big Indie Book of Fall "A map of ancestral knowledge, revelatory insight, and feelings laid bare . . . These pages share poems of hope, narratives of loss, anger, fear, loneliness, togetherness, death, and most potently, life, to paint a portrait . . . resonant to all." -- Library Journal , Editors '' Pick "The contributions to Bigger Than Bravery . . . encourage readers to consider how to make good use of the moments we have--to persist past hardship, find joy in adversity, be resilient, survive, live on (or be remembered)." --Michael Kleber-Diggs, Minneapolis Star Tribune "Spanning emotions from anger and frustration to joy and levity, Bigger Than Bravery is a multi-faceted look at the Black experience during the coronavirus pandemic. It tackles thorny issues and raises difficult questions, but ultimately it offers a ray of hope." -- Suzanne Van Atten, Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Crafted as an act of resistance to despair during the COVID-19 pandemic--which has disproportionately affected African Americans-- Bigger Than Bravery gathers poetry and prose from thirty-one Black writers whose words offer ''comfort as we reach toward the promise of brighter days ahead.'' " --Poets & Writers "A brilliant chronicle of the Black experience in the age of Covid-19.

Synopsis
Best Books of 2022, Library Journal Big Indie Book of Fall, Publishers Weekly Foreword INDIE , finalist in anthology Georgia Author of the Year Award , finalist " Valerie Boyd's Bigger Than Bravery isn't just an anthology; it is a survival guide." --Courtney B. Vance, Tony- and Emmy-winning actor An anthology of Black resilience and reclamation, with contributions by Pearl Cleage, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, Tayari Jones, Kiese Laymon, Imani Perry, Deesha Philyaw, Khadijah Queen, Jason Reynolds, Alice Walker, and more Born of a desire to bring together the voices of those most harshly affected by the intersecting pandemics of Covid-19 and systemic racism, Bigger Than Bravery explores comfort and compromise, challenge and resilience, throughout the Great Pause that became the Great Call. Award-winning author and scholar of the Black archive Valerie Boyd curates this anthology of original essays and poems, alongside some of the most influential nonfiction published on the subject, inviting readers into a conversation of restorative joy and enduring wisdom. Bigger Than Bravery captures what Boyd calls the "first draft of history," with poems serving as deep breaths between narrative essays to form a loose chronology of this unprecedented time. Karen Good Marable cranks "Whip My Hair" from the car windows during quarantine joyrides with her daughter. Deesha Philyaw ponders loneliness as she sorts Zoom meetings into those that require a bra and those that don't. Writing in the moment though not of it, Pearl Cleage reflects on what has and hasn't changed since the AIDS epidemic. Jason Reynolds harnesses heat and flavor to carry on his father's legacy. Sorrow and outrage have their say, but the stories in these pages are bright with family, music, food, and home, teaching us how to nourish ourselves and our communities. Looking ahead as much as it looks back, Bigger Than Bravery offers a window into a hopeful, complex present, establishing an essential record of how Black people in America insist on joy as an act of resistance., Best Books of 2022, Library Journal Big Indie Book of Fall, Publishers Weekly 2023 Georgia Author of the Year Award Winner for specialty book Foreword INDIES silver winner for anthology " Valerie Boyd's Bigger Than Bravery isn't just an anthology; it is a survival guide." --Courtney B.
