Muse: Brown Skin - A Dangerous Kind of Love is an emotionally charged and poetically written memoir that explores the raw, complicated, and sensual experience of being someone's inspiration, but never their priority.
In this lyrical debut, Geri Cohen Biddy opens her heart with bold honesty, recounting her entanglement with a man whose love for music always came before his love for her. What began as chemistry and passion spiraled into silence, abandonment, and emotional erosion. Through poetic storytelling, confessional reflection, and intimate recollections, Muse gives voice to the kind of love that leaves women questioning their worth.
This is a story for anyone who has ever been almost chosen, who has loved someone unavailable, or who has tried to turn pain into purpose. Told through a mix of personal narrative and poetic interludes, the memoir captures the push-pull of desire and disappointment, the tension between being remembered and being kept, and the resilience it takes to walk away from something that once felt like home.
At once sensual and sobering, Muse explores the intersections of love, sex, emotional trauma, spiritual reckoning, and creative release. It's a book for Black women who have carried the emotional weight of others while searching for healing, wholeness, and self-love.
With viral moments on TikTok, powerful pre-release traction, and community-driven storytelling at its core, Muse is more than a memoir, it's a movement. Perfect for fans of poetic nonfiction, memoirs by Black women, and stories that blur the line between confession and craft.
If you've ever been a muse, a secret, or a lesson-you will see yourself in these pages.
