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 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring relaxing sad tense medium-paced

This is not a book that I think can be read in one sitting. I had to pause and come back so many times. Not just out of sadness or anger but because a phrase, a line, a stanza, a poem hit me in a deep place and I needed a moment or several really. I adore this work.

This would be a pleasant read for any woman of color. I felt so many of these poems (even starred some). One thing that I would have liked to see is a break up of when they would start talking about another section (family, relationships, rape etc)
