Absolutely gorgeous. Explores the pain of queerness the pain of love in words that were so accurate and breathtakingly beautiful. Reading Baldwin left his voice in my head and I felt like he was digging down into my own spirit to touch and name things I hadn’t been able to name in quite the same way before.
