by Ishle Yi Park (Author)
The sweeping, unforgettable story of an interracial couple in 1990s New York City who are determined to protect their love against all odds--a reimagining of Romeo and Juliet
"Triumphant . . . sensuous, tender, and faceted like cut glass."--Cathy Park Hong, award-winning author of Minor Feelings Hannah, a Korean American girl from Queens, New York, and Angel, a Puerto Rican boy from Brooklyn, fall in love in the spring of 1993 at a quinceañera: under a torn pink streamerloose as a tendril of hair--lush-- his eyes. Darkluminous. Warm. A blush
floods her. Hannah sucks in her breath, but
can't pull back. Music fades. A hush
he's a young buck in the underbrush, still in a disco ball dance of shadow & light
Their forbidden love instantly and wildly blooms along the Jackie Robinson Expressway. Told across the changing seasons, Angel & Hannah holds all of the tension and cadence of blank verse while adding dynamic and expressive language rooted in a long tradition of hip-hop and spoken word, creating new and magnetic forms. The poetry of Angel and Hannah's relationship is dynamic, arresting, observant, and magical, conveying the intimacies and sacrifices of love and family and the devastating realities of struggle and loss.
