Danez Smith is a force and I’ll read anything they write. While I didn’t love this collection as much as Homie, I still thought this was an amazing collection. 

Recommend 100%! The anger and eloquence for black safety, queerness, and life is remarkable. Smith is a poet I’ll keep reading because their words are incredible.

Beautiful is the first word that comes to mind. These poems cover the range of emotions with a heavy focus on grief, Black and queer experience, and HIV. Very challenging and emotional but extremely important.

You ever read a book and think "I wish I read this sooner," that was me with this poetry collection. This was so beautiful and heartbreaking.
