Capable Monsters by Marlin M. Jenkins
5.0
So much is packed into these lithe poems: explorations of queer and black identity, examinations of harm in boyhood and adulthood and the painful transitions in between, and yes, so many great Pokémon references.
The poems are crafted with sincere emotion and reflection, deft language, and creative parallels. I love Capable Monsters, have re-read it many times, and can't wait to read it again.
