I didn't love this as much as I've loved Abdurraqib's other works, which leaves me feeling like I'm the problem, not the book.

Poetry collection that deftly explores identity, race, love, meaning, grief, hope, and whether Michael Jordan pushed off.

Culture BIPOC lyrical poetry, u appreciate how the author gives the backstory before reading each set of poems related. Complex and meaningful

I desperately wanted this to work for me but sadly, it didn't. I'll try to come back to it at some point in the future and listen to the audio along with the book in my hands.
