challenging dark emotional inspiring sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This was a motivating, impactful, and (for me) relatable poetry anthology. I heard it narrated in audiobook format by the author and I think it is probably the best way to consume this. You feel the pain, suffering, and joy of the narrative voice for each poem. Hearing it feels like seeing the world through the eyes and experiences of black/queer individuals whose stories deserve to take up space and be heard. I'm hoping to find more poetry collections like this. It has been quite some time since I've sat down with something like this that I did not want to put down.
