* Description:
The Précieuse is a deeply personal and reflective work, offering a bold, confessional tone in moments where one might expect professional formality. The title itself blends themes of pretentiousness and preciousness, drawing from its French origins. A "précieuse" refers to both a refined, often pretentious woman as well as a 17th-century literary style dominated by women known for their elaborate, periphrastic language.
Reformatted by Micah at Huner Francis, the book finds a refined structure in its exploration of painting, desire, fandom, personal identity, Blackness, poetry and the complexities of unmonitored internet access. Divided into two sections — Song of Songs, which features long-form writing, and The Book of Changes, focused on shorter pieces — The Précieuse serves as a showcase for the author's voice and evolution as an artist.
