What people are saying

1st Place Winner of The Holy Art’s BLAST Award for painting (2021)

‘An absorbing read. Dallie has an eye for the exact detail. It’s like listening in on private conversations. Very New York.’

-Anthony Haden-Guest, Vanity Fair, Author of The Last Party & True Colors

Finalist in the Orleans House Grand (2021)

‘Dallie has what Balzac called the ‘second sight.’ I read [Lesser Journeys] in almost one sitting.’

-Gaverne, Creator of Black History Timeline, The Guardian

‘A gifted narrator. Ago’s descriptive language allows us to live every moment of a young woman’s journey into the world, while revealing the internal empowerment awakening within.’

-Ronna Lebo, Author of Prolapse, Co-Founder of Black Square Editions

‘Lesser Journeys is sharp as a razor, and pulses with the heart and sensuality of a fearless author in top form. Recommended for any reader who wishes they could find a random spot in a foreign country and end up drinking until dawn with Joan Didion.’

-Nathaniel Kressen, Author of Dahlia Cassandra and Concrete Fever

‘One of the freshest, most vital voices to come out of young American literature.’

-Ithamar Handleman-Smith, Author of The Unholy Land.
