Unreal delight at this collision of worlds - my favorite lyricist with one of my favorite poets. I first read this poem in 2020 and every time I read it I wish I could forget it and read it for the first time all over again. It genuinely knocked the wind out of me. The title poem for the book is also phenomenal.
Have you read any Hanif Abdurraqib? The way he puts words together, even in something as 'simple' as an Instagram caption, never ceases to amaze me.
