The Only Worlds We Know by Michael Lee

5.0

I had the pleasure of hearing Michael read at the Spirit Room in Rochester, NY. His poems were so gripping, I knew I had to snag a copy of his book.

As I read them, I heard his voice in my ears. These poems are sharp and powerful, and reminded me of the [a:Hanif Abdurraqib|14133519|Hanif Abdurraqib|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1567950898p2/14133519.jpg] and [a:Ocean Vuong|4456871|Ocean Vuong|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1561472666p2/4456871.jpg] stuff I've been reading earlier this year. Lots of exploration of death, grief, addiction, and despair.

Looking forward to seeing what else Lee writes.
