I came across this book by chance at my neighborhood's Little Free Library, so shout out to them. It's a very beautiful book - mixture of art and poetry. The design of it alone I am very inspired by; it's my first time seeing a book like this. It is a very quick read since it's essentially one long poem spread out line by line (I actually believe it is described as one long sentence). Even so, it is moving and powerful; I'd definitely recommend.

Content Warnings

I don't know exactly how to tag the content warnings on this. It is not really explicit but thematically the writing deals with the death of George Floyd, police brutality/killings of Black people, and covid-19.
