Homie

For most of my life I didn’t pay much attention to this world, but now I follow the work the brilliant Danez Smith pretty closely. This new book from Smith is perhaps even better then Don’t Call Us Dead. I found myself saying “wow” out loud at the end of one of the poems here. Gorgeous language, gut-wrenching honesty and style approachable to a non-expert like me. Smith moves from the playful to the heartbreaking, sometimes in a single poem. Even if contemporary poetry isn’t really your thing, Smith’s is a voice worth hearing.

A beautiful collection of extremely heartfelt poems. I would recommend to others and repurchase for another.

The poems are brilliant and read out loud are pure music.

Danez continuing to do what he does best!

Good stuff. Good stuff. Good stuff.Great read.Great read.Great read.Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.More please.
