Saeed Jones in conversation with Morgan Parker for HOW WE FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES
We celebrated the paperback release of Saeed Jones’ memoir, How We Fight for Our Lives, with poet Morgan Parker.
Told in lyrical vignettes, How We Fight for Our Lives records Saeed Jones’ coming of age as a Black gay man in the South alongside a wrenching tribute to his mother. Jones delves into the intimate details of his life and meditations on love, queerness, violence, and desire with clarity, grace, and luminous language. This urgent memoir offers a meditation on what it takes to realize our identity and what–and who–we must leave behind in the process.
