Description

This title is no longer available for purchase through Black Lawrence Press, but it is available from most online book retailers. Better yet, your local bookstore should be able to order a copy for you.

In June of 2023, Black Lawrence Press welcomed numerous existing and forthcoming Nomadic Press titles to our catalogue. Evolutionary Heart was originally published by Nomadic.

Evolutionary Heart is one journey of love, from self to partner-love to dissolution and back to solo self, the home in which we all ultimately return.

Praise

Evolutionary Heart is a reminder of the daily cellular revolution of humanity that is made possible when we chose to live vulnerably. In every poem there is pulse, blood, a beating that cannot be quelled.
– Sonya Renee Taylor, Founder and Radical Executive Officer, author of The Body is Not An Apology

Nazelah’s writing demonstrates why poetry is vital to our culture. Her lack of pretense, coupled with her wit and vulnerability makes Evolutionary Love the most human collection I’ve read in a long while.
– Shawn Taylor, celebrated author and blogger. Director of Gateway to College at Laney College, Oakland

Considering I’m in love, Nazelah Jamison’s words resonate even more in my heart, flesh and bones, like a soft gong awakening of Love’s dreams, thoughts & pain. Each verse’s resonance wraps itself onto my past love stories, healing me from the scars of it, while other savant rhymes are pure celebration of hopeful, true, real LOVE. Thank you Nazelah for being the poet of our untamed and untold love experience.
– Helene Faussart, author of Les Nubians
