Today, Grammy-nominated, 6x time Juno-winning singer-songwriter, and bestselling author Jessie Reyez announces a North American book tour celebrating the release of her second poetry collection, Words of a Goat Princess Vol. II: The People’s Purge — out Oct 21. The tour kicks off in Washington, D.C. on October 15th, and will see stops in Chicago, NYC, Dallas, and more cities across the country, with additional dates to be announced. Pre-order the book HERE and buy tickets to the tour HERE.
Following the success of her 2024 USA TODAY bestselling debut poetry collection Words of a Goat Princess, Reyez returns with a bold new offering that doubles as both a love letter to the healing power of collaboration and a testament to the magic of being truly seen. Born from her long-running and wildly popular Instagram series, the collection features in-the-moment poems written in response to prompts from fans around the world thanks to the power of social media. Every chapter opener includes actual screengrabs of fans' suggestions for themes of Reyez’s poems, making it an especially intimate and exciting collaborational labor of love and community.
From a simple dead leaf on the ground to heartbreak, abandonment, addiction, and the quiet beauty of a sunset over still waters, Reyez transforms each suggestion into heartfelt, original poetry that is raw, unflinching, and deeply human. Each piece is accompanied by evocative illustrations from French Caribbean artist Eloïse Diot, bringing the words to vivid life. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to rid themselves of the guilt of existing and get lost in the razor-sharp mind of Jessie Reyez. Reyez’s multi-city book tour this fall will offer fans an intimate chance to hear her read selections from the collection, share the stories behind her work, and connect through live Q&A sessions and signings.
