Nicole Sealey began making erasures from the US Department of Justice's 2015 report detailing bias policing and court practices in the city of Ferguson, Missouri, three years after the murder of Michael Brown by Ferguson police.

A poet of existential magnitude, deep intellect and playful subversion, America's Nicole Sealey writes poems that are restless in their empathic, lucid awareness of what it means to be human. This is first UK edition of her first book-length collection is published at the same time as her new book, The Ferguson Report: An Erasure.

With the questions devised by Angelica and best friend, Grace, what could possibly go wrong?
