"Taylor Byas’s Resting Bitch Face is a beautifully rendered collection of some of the profound observations, questions, and heartbreaks that attend existence in a Black feminine body. These poems will spark recognition in women of every origin, artists, and lovers of art. Whether chronicling childhood, the day-to-day of human relationships, the viewing and making of art, or the ways in which certain revered artists terrorized their subjects, every poem considers (mis)perception and clarity from a unique perch." — From Chicago Review of Books
