Description:
Winner of the 2018 Lexi Rudnitsky First Book Prize in Poetry
A seasoned first collection of poems that look back to a childhood in the 1960s as they consider family, race, and art in America today.
The captivating poems in Ridiculous Light find their subjects in decades of daily experiences, whether in poems about a 1960s childhood?a Milwaukee of neighborhood libraries, first Afros, and white flight?or an adulthood marked by the pleasures and tumult of love, activism, and artmaking.
A storyteller of the first order, Valencia Robin revisits growing up fatherless, both from the confused, silenced perspective of a child and of the worldly woman that child becomes; and she explores the multiple realities of being an American woman of African descent, deeply aware of the stark differences between her life and the generations of black women who came before her.
Ridiculous Light is a unique debut: aware of its legacy, bursting with beauty and wisdom.

Dixie Is Good But
Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
Dixie paper plates are good but these are better! The durability of them is just as good as Dixie. The leak-proofness is just as good as Dixie. The 10 inch size makes them versatile for everyday use. The main reason why they are better than Dixie is because they’re a lot cheaper and you get double the amount for less $$

Great quality. Don’t think it twice and buy!
Size: 100 Count
When I bought this plates I was not so sure of the quality of the material however, they exceeded my expectations. They are thick and durable. The design and color were perfect and matched with my decoration. The amount of plates for the value was a great deal and I will definitely buy them again and again. Trust me when I say I don’t like most of the disposable paper plates out there and this make a huge difference with how good quality they are and how inexpensive they’re.

Strong Enough for Everyday Use, No Surprises
Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
These are exactly what you want from everyday disposable plates.
They’re sturdy enough to handle normal meals without bending or soaking through, even with heavier or messier foods. I’ve used them for things like pasta and leftovers, and they held up better than expected for a budget option.
The 10-inch size is a good middle ground, big enough for full meals but not oversized. They also hold up fine in the microwave without getting too soft.
They’re still paper plates at the end of the day, so if you’re loading them up with really heavy or greasy food, you might want to double up just to be safe.
Overall, these are a reliable, no-frills option that works well for daily use, gatherings, or quick cleanup situations.
