Homie: Poems by Danez Smith

5.0

Danez Smith is one of my new favorite poets. I love poems that make me laugh. Explain to me how you can read a poem called 'All the Best Dick Lives in Brooklyn Park' and not laugh.

They also write about life generally, capturing the joy of close friends, the complication an HIV diagnosis can cause, being black, and how beautiful the small things are. Danez is from the Twin Cities and I love seeing my heart called out in verse.

Cannot recommend enough.
