Denice Lovett's debut poetry book, Zugzwang: A Poetry Collection, offers a reflection on the tumultuous events of the early 2020s, including the pandemic, racial unrest, and political upheaval. Through her introspective journey, Lovett found strength in her African American, Intersectional Feminist, and Female identities, using them breaking free from the harsh stereotypes and assumptions placed upon her by American society at large.

This collection of poems invites readers to join her in debating the environment of the world us, and offers moments of connection and reflection. With each turn of the page, Lovett inspires readers to question their place in our shared communities and work towards a more inclusive world.
