"This is a captivating and unflinchingly honest account of the highs and lows of being a black woman out in the world, coupled with a detailed history of the many global perceptions of race that is both eye-opening and informative. As a black woman who has also lived and worked in Asia, Australia and Europe, so many of Neal's observations resonate deeply." --Fiona Williams, author of The House of Broken Bricks

"My Pisces Heart is a much-needed excavation of what it means to be a migrant of colour in our present world. Jennifer Neal offers a masterclass in politically-engaged memoir: rarely have I encountered a book so nuanced, gracefully entwining deep research with lived experience. Whether you live life in motion or stay put, this book is essential reading." --Jessica J. Lee, author of Dispersals

"A vital and gripping voice on migration, displacement and home. And a propulsive, thoughtful memoir from a fascinating life. I couldn't stop reading it!" --Dina Nayeri, author of Who Gets Believed? and The Ungrateful Refugee

"My Pisces Heart is an instant travel classic, an essential chronicle of migration and, above all, an absolute joy to read. It's required reading for anyone looking to re-create themselves in this precarious new age, as Neal does time and again--with the rigor of an academic and the palette of a poet." --Monica Byrne, author of The Actual Star
