How to Sit, a memoir when viewed in its entirety, plays with the line between fiction and nonfiction as it explores adolescence, identity, grief, and the transition between girlhood and womanhood for a young black woman seeking to ground herself when all she wants is to pretend her world is fantasy.

"A vibrant collection merging story and essay, fact and fiction, Coleman reveals a self more clearly seen when it's written as a character and a writer who knows how to live her own fiction."-Jill Talbot

"A bold, unflinching look at guilt, regret, and longing, How to Sit reminds us that sometimes it's not the wounds inflicted by other people that hurt the most. The worst scars and stitches can come from what we do to ourselves." - Tara Laskowski
