Absolutely stunning, lyrical poetry that packs a punch. It begs to be read aloud in front of a crowd. I highly anticipate reading anything else that Ryan Douglass writes.

There were some wonderfully striking pieces in this collection about Douglass' experiences navigating life as a black man and also a few memorable lines regarding how growing up gay and black intersect and have shaped his experiences.

we african remnants, we're pendulum of choices, we're running out of breath or silencing our voices.
Lovely, atmospheric, really gripping. Thoughts on being black and gay and how that intersects, but also a lot of meaningful reminiscences on relationships and family and sex. Beautifully written, with some really striking pieces of verse. A few of the pieces had a cadence that reminded me of rap; all of this just flowed so well. Hugely enjoyable, all in all.
