Set in the fictional Mississippi town of Bois Sauvage, the novel follows Jojo, his little sister Kayla, their drug-addicted mother Leonie, and the grandparents who hold the household together. On the road to collect Jojo's father from prison, voices of the living and the dead, prison memory, and the history of racism gather into a story about the depth of family love and injury.

In the form of a road novel, it follows the pain lodged in a Southern family history and the gaze of a child who hears the dead.

This poetry collection brings together voices shaped by slavery, spectacle, adoption, and linguistic control to ask what captivity and freedom mean. Persona poems and prose close to the author's own memory intersect, probing the contradictions of race and love in America.

To speak inside the language of domination is to expose the uncertainty of freedom itself.

This nonfiction work traces the history of hoaxes and fraud in American culture, from sideshows and plagiarism to fabricated memoirs and fake news. Rather than merely mocking falsehood, it examines how fakery binds itself to race, power, and the desire to believe.

To follow the history of fakery is also to ask what a society wants to believe is real.
