“Words can only help you if you speak them.” -Crown Noble, Bianca Phipps Latinx, queer, poet Bianca Phipps dissects intimate family relationships in hopes of understanding conflict as a means of overcoming. Phipps' debut explores an alternate timeline version of her own childhood and by moving back and forth between those timelines she highlights her own generational inheritance while inviting us to discover our own. A College Spoken Word Phenom, Bianca is no stranger to plucking the heartstrings of readers and listeners. In Crown Noble she translates that charisma and flair for language to help her readers discover - even in the depths of hardship - the joy of family, of language, and of reclaiming your own story. --- Praise for Crown Noble “Bianca brings her heartbreak to life by continuing to build from it. What a joy that we get to hold what Bianca has grown.” – Melissa Lozada-Oliva, author of Peluda “[Crown Noble] is a stunning meditation on familial bonds, inheritance, and what we owe to where we come from.” – Kevin Kantor, author of Please Come Off-Book
