Black & White: A Collection of Poems, Dominique Sweat

Description

Black & White is a quietly powerful collection of poems that explores the tension between opposites and the space that exists between them. Through themes of self and other, love and heartbreak, past and future, Dominique Sweat reflects on what it means to live within contradiction rather than resolve it.

Organized into sections that trace an emotional arc, these poems draw from the author’s personal experiences while reaching toward something universal. Sweat writes with honesty and restraint, examining identity, memory, and transformation without forcing easy conclusions. The work acknowledges that we are rarely one thing or another, and that growth often begins in the uncomfortable overlap.

Both raw and heartwarming, Black & White invites readers into moments of vulnerability and recognition. It is a collection meant to be read slowly, returned to often, and felt as much as it is understood.

Ideal for readers drawn to contemporary poetry, introspective writing, and work that values nuance over certainty, Black & White is an invitation to sit with complexity and find meaning there.
