Parker’s collection popped up on Amazon’s suggestions of things I might like, next to my eye cream and ink cartridges. It’s probably not a good idea to read an entire book of poetry, now matter how short, in one sitting, but I did. It’s difficult for me to talk about this collection because it’s one of the many things about which I wonder: is this made for me? What I can do without an answer to that question is appreciate the sheer power of Parker’s words. These poems mix everything (race, gender, class, personhood, etc. etc.) together in one glass, but nothing gets diluted. I am constantly reminded that I don’t understand. These poems make me uncomfortable yet right at home. This collection is incredibly present and urgent, but reflective like a eulogy. When you finish a book and you don’t know what to do next, that’s usually a good sign. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Parker's Brilliant Style Is Difficult *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2017* I first encountered Morgan Parker's work when I read "The President Has Never Said the Word Black" in The New York Times. It was a deeply moving piece of writing, so when I learned that she had a forthcoming poetry collection, I became determined to read it. The collection starts off with a bang. The opening poem, "All They Want Is My Money My Pussy My Blood" is textured, disjointed and layered. It builds and builds and builds, immersing the reader in historical fact, numerous popular culture references, and tons of clever critique. Parker uses her poems to explore the themes of possession and self-ownership, the imminence of death, meaning of commodification, economies of desire, technology, appropriation, depression, and, of course, the shapes of Black womanhood. Her style shifts with each and every poem. Some poems are written a form that makes their meanings clear while others require the reader to read between and beneath the verses. The collection isn't about Beyoncé per se, but rather the vexed sociopolitical and sociocultural critiques that have been thrust upon Beyoncé, the burdens she's been appointed to carry. My favorite poems included "The Gospel of Jesus's Wife," "What Beyoncé Won't Say on a Shrink's Couch," and "Please Wait (Or, There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé." Parker's brilliant style is difficult; she forces her reader to be present and do the hard work of thinking carefully and critically.I received an ARC of this book from the author and publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ## Frequently Bought Together - There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce - Magical Negro - Other People's Comfort Keeps Me Up At Night: Poems --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/38998834-there-are-more-beautiful-things-than-beyonce](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/38998834-there-are-more-beautiful-things-than-beyonce) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
