And God Said, Let There Be Dykes is a thunderclap of queer resilience-part scripture, part love letter, part battle cry.
In this bold collection, the sacred and the sapphic intertwine as Black queer poet Essie reimagines divinity through the lens of dykes, studs, femmes, and gender-expansive holiness. Each poem is a reclamation-a gospel of flesh, freedom, softness, and survival. From kitchen tables to church pews, from the first heartbreak to the first hallelujah in a lover's arms, these verses carry the reader through the grief and glory of queer becoming.
With lyrical fire and unapologetic tenderness, this book asks: What if God is not watching us, but walking with us donning a pride flag? What if we are the creation and the creator all at once?
This is not just a book of poems-it's a sanctuary.
Come as you are. There's holy water in the sweat, in the tears, in the kiss.
And God said, Let There Be Dykes-and it was good.
