This was a quick listen that I plan to go back and listen to this audiobook again. I really enjoyed the poems in this book, they were so moving and they perfectly depicted life as a Black queer femme in the US. Some of them were hard to get through,

the one about Sandra Bland made me tear up, the one about the mentally ill victims of force sterilizations made me cry.

Actually, a lot of the poems on this book left me feeling sensitive and vulnerable. 

Overall I'm going to give this 5 out of 5 stars 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

Real real good. Definitely recommend the audio book as it is read by the author and you can hear the emotion in her voice as she talks.

You will not call yourself a ______
because her body was made
for you,
and how dare she
act like
she owns herself.

I'm usually not much for poetry, but this is phenomenal

4.0

This was absolutely powerful, Insightful and at times a little triggering. But I couldn’t put it down once I got going, I admit that I ugly cried about 90% of this book. The underlying messages were incredible and done with such beauty at times. 

This book will stay with me for a long time
