Judas & Suicide (Poems) by Maya Williams

Suicide is often framed as betrayal, even though we live in a world that betrays us.

When this world tells us that death is better, what does it mean to have faith in life?

JUDAS & SUICIDE is a poetry collection navigating religion and suicidality.

It approaches these topics through the lens of Black family and community, sadness, medication, sexual violence, the prison industrial complex, media, and Bible verses.

JUDAS & SUICIDE explores how to be convinced to stay alive without feeling obligated to.

Maya Williams (ey/em, they/them, and she/her) is a religious Black multiracial nonbinary suicide survivor who is currently an Ashley Bryan Fellow and the seventh Poet Laureate of Portland, Maine.
