Blite Diamond — Innocently Broken is a voice-driven poetry collection set in Britain during the slave era.
Nineteen-year-old Diamond is the first “Blite” child her community has seen—born of a master’s key and a mother’s chain.
In letters, confessions, and choral laments, she lives between two names and two expectations: Diana to her white kin and Mondala to her Black kin.
Across schoolrooms and storerooms, pews and fields, sickbeds and supper tables, each page bears witness to a girl asked to choose a side that would unmake her.
What does freedom mean when your blood is at war with itself?
