Monument: Poems New and Selected" Trethewey's poems] dig beneath the surface of history personal or communal, from childhood or from a century ago to explore the human struggles that we all face." James H. Billington, 13th Librarian of Congress Layering joy and urgent defiance against physical and cultural erasure, against white supremacy whether intangible or graven in stone Trethewey's work gives pedestal and witness to unsung icons. Monument, Trethewey's first retrospective,

" Trethewey's poems] dig beneath the surface of history--personal or communal, from childhood or from a century ago--to explore the human struggles that we all face." --James H. Billington, 13th Librarian of Congress

Layering joy and urgent defiance--against physical and cultural erasure, against white supremacy whether intangible or graven in stone--Trethewey's work gives pedestal and witness to unsung icons. Monument, Trethewey's first retrospective, draws together verse that delineates the stories of working class African American women, a mixed-race prostitute, one of the first black Civil War regiments, mestizo and mulatto figures in Casta paintings, Gulf coast victims of Katrina. Through the collection, inlaid and inextricable, winds the poet's own family history of trauma and loss, resilience and love.

In this setting, each section, each poem drawn from an "opus of classics both elegant and necessary,"* weaves and interlocks with those that come before and those that follow. As a whole, Monument casts new light on the trauma of our national wounds, our shared history. This is a poet's remarkable labor to source evidence, persistence, and strength from the past in order to change the very foundation of the vocabulary we use to speak about race, gender, and our collective future.

*Academy of American Poets' chancellor Marilyn Nelson

Lightweight bur actually hydrating
Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I’ve tried so many moisturizers that either felt greasy, heavy, or just sat on top of my skin, but this La Roche-Posay moisturizer honestly surprised me. It’s super lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without feeling oily. My face feels smooth and refreshed after using it instead of sticky or coated. It layers really well and doesn’t make my skin feel overloaded. Definitely one of the best moisturizers I’ve used so far.

Works well
Style: Shampoo, Size: 7 Ounce
This shampoo made a noticeable difference way faster than I expected. My scalp felt less itchy after just a couple uses and the flakes have improved a lot. I also like that it leaves my hair feeling clean instead of overly stripped. Definitely worth trying if other dandruff shampoos haven’t worked well for you.

Obliterates stubborn dandruff at the source, but grab a heavy conditioner.
Style: Shampoo, Size: 7 Ounce, Style: Shampoo, Size: 7 Ounce
If standard drugstore dandruff shampoos aren't working for you, this is the heavy artillery. I put a banana next to the bottle in the picture for scale, which reminds me—this stuff will literally stop your scalp from peeling like one. Instead of just washing away loose flakes, the active ingredient (Ketoconazole) actually kills the underlying fungal overgrowth that causes the itching and flaking in the first place. WHY IT'S A STAPLE: • It works incredibly fast. Most people see a massive reduction in severe flaking and scalp redness after just two or three uses. • It actually has a very clean, fresh scent, completely avoiding that awful medicinal or sulfur smell you get with coal tar shampoos. CRITICAL USAGE WARNING: • Because this is a serious, active treatment, it is incredibly drying to the actual hair shaft. If you use this without following up with a high-quality, heavy hydrating conditioner, your hair will dry out and feel like brittle straw. You only need to use it twice a week to maintain a clear scalp. THE BOTTOM LINE: The absolute undisputed heavyweight champion for eliminating stubborn dandruff, provided you pair it with a strong conditioner to protect your hair.
