Homie: Poems by Danez Smith
5.0

I found myself setting this book down after so many of the poems as the words hit me and the meanings and emotions unraveled. Smith reminded me why I love poetry.

As someone who had friends die in our youth, their tributes really hit the soft places. As did the celebration of their friends who are still alive.
