By Jordannah Elizabeth Graham Co-edited by Lauren H. Smith I Foreword by Tracy Dimond
The Warmest Low Reader: The Deep Blue Sea is a meditative, genre-defying chapbook that deepens and expands the visionary landscape of Jordannah Elizabeth Graham’s The Warmest Low series. Blending memoir, lyrical prose, social reflection, and environmental poetics, this limited edition publication serves both as a personal reckoning and a literary excavation of memory, place, and identity. Through an intimate examination of her upbringing in Baltimore — a city steeped in mystery, contradiction, and historical trauma — Graham confronts the layered realities of being Black, different, and gifted in a place that rarely embraces those who diverge from its norm. The Chesapeake Bay, its moody skies and troubled waters, becomes a spiritual and ecological metaphor, mirroring her complex emotional terrain.
