Reading the Forward by Kwame Dawes is imperative if you want to understand and appreciate this collection lol.

When reading The January Children, there's a unique sense of heartbreak that lingers through the pages. As Elhillo develops a narrative around her culture, identity, and belonging, it's clear that there's something lingering beneath the surface.
