Beautiful words and perspective. I learned about the layers of discrimination and prejudice from the voice of a black gay woman. 3.5 stars due to vulgar language.

Trigger warnings: depression, suicide, rape, abuse, homophobia
Whoa. This feels personal to me on the depression and suicide parts the author discusses. I listened to the audiobook and it was narrated by the author and I could hear her pain and her emotions she was going through while having to relive what these poems discussed. It was hard to listen to, but at the same time I couldn’t stop listening to it because it just flowed easily together. This is such an amazing collection and I’m at a loss for words.

Don't sleep on this one, y'all! Combining the audiobook with the physical text is highly recommended.
