Overview

What if poetry wasn't about being good with words- but about staying whole while speaking them? For Black people across the diaspora, poetry has never been decoration. It has been survival technology: a way to preserve identity when systems tried to rewrite it, to regulate the body when the world demanded collapse, and to claim voice before permission was granted. Luxury of Poetry reclaims this legacy. Part anthology, part liberation practice, and part healing modality, this book reframes poetry as governance technology-a way to regulate the nervous system, reclaim internal authority, and practice sovereignty in daily life. Through original Luxorae poems, guided prompts, and poetic conversations with fourteen influential Black writers across time, this book offers a grounded, repeatable practice for writing truthfully without collapse. Inside, you'll find: -Chapters exploring Voice, Form, Liberation, Sovereignty, and Inheritance -The Luxorae Poetics Framework: a philosophy of luxury as internal order -Poetic conversations with revolutionary Black writers across generations -A 12-week poetry practice integrating craft, healing, and alignment -A concise guide to major poetic forms -Regulation practices rooted in neuroscience and embodied knowing This is not a book about writing beautifully. It is a book about writing truthfully-without betraying yourself. Luxury of Poetry is for poets and non-poets alike, for anyone ready to experience language as a site of freedom, coherence, and inheritance lived. Poetry is not an escape. It is a return.
