Publisher Comments

From the New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist, a biography in verse and prose of science fiction visionary Octavia Butler, author of Parable of the Sower and Kindred.

Acclaimed novelist Ibi Zoboi illuminates the young life of the visionary storyteller Octavia E. Butler in poems and prose. Born into the Space Race, the Red Scare, and the dawning Civil Rights Movement, Butler experienced an American childhood that shaped her into the groundbreaking science-fiction storyteller whose novels continue to challenge and delight readers fifteen years after her death.

Review

"A radiant biography spotlights the life of science fiction great Octavia Butler through a compilation of poetry, prose, quotes and photos." Shelf Awareness (Starred Review)

Review

"Zoboi has created a necessary addition to school and public library collections through this memorable look at how writers incorporate their lives into their work." Booklist (Starred Review)

Review

“A fittingly expansive tribute to Butler's visionary mind and the childhood that sowed it.” Publishers Weekly
