Mausoleum of Flowers

A poetry collection that celebrates Black culture, creativity, and memory.
 
From Kendrick to Kanye, to a Sunday in Oakland with Frank Oceans falsetto in the foreground, Mausoleum of Flowers is still life set against the backdrop of demise. Daniel Summerhills sophomore collection grabs fate by the throat and confronts it. What does it mean to continue living when your friends are dying beside you? This collection melds an exploration of spirituality and rebellion with Black tradition. Summerhills poems invite the reader near in order to self-excavate and explore tones of loss, love, and light.
