His Own Where by June Jordan
Wow, wow, wow. This little book, clocking in at under 100 pages, packs a punch. Told in poetic street language, it's the story of Buddy finding his own "where" in the world. He's surrounded by death and the place he finds his life and his light is a cemetery.
Moving, powerful, and just damn gorgeous to read. I'd love to hear this on audio because the language is incredible.
This was Jordan's only novel and now I am going to take a deep dive into her poetry.
Readers who want an urban-set story, this is a total winner. It's a coming of age romance.
