I ended up DNFing this book, and I have really complicated feelings about it. What I will say for now is that there is nothing wrong with this book, I'm just 80% sure I was not the correct, nor intended audience

I was provided an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The End of Chiraq is a collection of poems but also interviews and essays etc about Chicago, its reputation, how it is for people living thereā€¦

I enjoyed it even though the writing style, sometimes, was hard for me to focus on.
Also, I was expecting this to be a collection of poems and only poems and I was a little disappointed at first, but it was really interesting. I learnt a lot.
