Essential reading for the 21st century.

A poetry collection that intricately examines grief, specifically the grief of a son and also grief as a Black individual in America. It also tackles topics of queerness and living through the 2020 pandemic.

The repetition and recurring sequences of poems in this collection is similar to Thomas King's 77 Fragments of a Familiar Ruin. Both with keen observations/critiques on world issues and social justice.
