"I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times" is a winding, tumultuous journey of a Black woman growing up in Chicago and finding her way in the world far from home. Beginning in her childhood, Byas' poems linger over the moments and lessons that shaped her, celebrating the joy and beauty of them while facing the pain and anger that is often intertwined with memory. This collection is a celebration of place as well as self, exploring how places shape us in joyful and painful ways. As the poems advance through the collection, Byas' sense of home becomes not just Chicago in all its nuances, but in herself, wherever life takes her.
