![]() ![]() How to both accept and transcend your past. How to Sit is, at root, a reflection on how to live. In these stories and essays, she uncovers a paradoxical truth: that sometimes it’s the more difficult things that you can face with surprising bravery and it’s the things that are supposed to come “easy” that are the hardest to learn. “How do you pick your mom up from jail? How do you mourn the death of your grandmother, who was both a powerfully seductive and vital force in your life, but at the same time, awful and tragic? How do you wait three months for your premature twin babies to get out of the NICU without going mad from fear and guilt? With a strong voice that is at times sparse and direct, at other times poetic and knowing, Tyrese Coleman confronts these and other questions in this beautiful debut collection, How to Sit. The worst scars and stitches can come from what we do to ourselves." "A bold, unflinching look at guilt, regret, and longing, How to Sit reminds us that sometimes it's not the wounds inflicted by other people that hurt the most. "A vibrant collection merging story and essay, fact and fiction, Coleman reveals a self more clearly seen when it's written as a character and a writer who knows how to live her own fiction." Currently a finalist for the 2018 PEN Open Book Award. ![]()
