Buy it! Read it! If you’re white, use it to develop some empathy! I’m white and my heart grew ten times the size. Off to go buy their other poetry collectives.

Danez Smith’s poetry is reflective of life, and takes a hard look at racism, homophobia, and living with aids. There are a lot of striking lines in this book. I listened to the audio, so although I don’t think I got as much of the poems’ contents, it was fun listening to Danez perform his work. I also appreciated the intro explaining the real title of this collection and why he called it Homie.
