A whipsmart collection of poetry full of heart and loss about growing up Black and queer in America. The verse in this collection is EVERYTHING to me - so many incredible quotes, rhyming schemes so good you could sing them and seemless transitions from one poem to the next. I loved the division of poems based on themes, the incredible titles and the beautiful art on the back inside cover (which I wish we got to see more of!) Literally cannot choose a fav poem from this collection but Danez Smith has quickly become a new favorite poet of mine and I can't wait to explore more of their works.
