When an authors unmitigated brilliance shows up on every page, its tempting to skip a description and just say, Read this Such is the case with this breathlessly powerful, deceptively breezy book of poetry. --Booklist, Starred ReviewIn his much-anticipated follow-up to The Crown Aint Worth Much, poet, essayist, biographer, and music critic Hanif Abdurraqib has written a book of poems about how one rebuilds oneself after a heartbreak, the kind that renders them a different version of themselves than the one they knew. Its a book about a mothers death, and admitting that Michael Jordan pushed off, about forgiveness, and how none of the authors black friends wanted to listen to Dont Stop Believin. Its about wrestling with histories, personal and shared. Abdurraqib uses touchstones from the world outside--from Marvin Gaye to Nikola Tesla to his neighbors dogs--to create a mirror, inside of which every angle presents a new possibility.
