I Call Your Name

She was born with a name that sounded like a poem-Lovely Light Brown-and she wore it like armor in a world that tried to strip her bare. From the housing projects of Philly to smoke-filled cafés in Harlem, Lovely carved her voice into verse, one heartbreak at a time. Poetry was her salvation, her rebellion, her lullaby-and her curse.

I Call Your Name is the intimate, soul-stirring journey of a Black woman poet who bleeds beauty onto the page while running from a past that keeps whispering her name in the dark. A gifted artist haunted by addiction, toxic love, and the ghosts of her mother's blues, Lovely must decide if her words will set her free-or bury her.

Told with the musicality of a jazz lament and the raw heat of street-lit truth, this novel channels the spirit of a woman who wrote her way through pain, pleasure, and purpose.
