A Fortune for Your Disaster by Hanif Abdurraqib
5.0

If I had Hanif Abdurraqib’s grocery list, I’d read that too 😂😂. I absolutely love this work! 

A Fortune for Your Disaster is a collection of poems about transitions. There’s discussions of death of a parent, divorce, relocating, etc. The pain and grief is palpable through the words. I love that the author narrates this audiobook, because 1) he does an excellent job and 2) there are brief moments when he addresses the reader and explains the inspiration behind the poems in that section. I read this in tandem (audiobook and physical book) because there are some stylistic things that are fun to see with your eyes (plus I ALWAYS annotate this authors books).
