HOW THE BOOGEYMAN BECAME A POET

these are two of my favorite books of all time and this is doing very similar things to both of these

I think that this is a very poignant and beautifully crafted Memoir that really powerfully expresses his experiences as a young person as a queer person as a young queer black person navigating adolescence and these like really formative parts of adolesence it's very lyrical it's it's very intensely emotional but then it's also very funny

I found this to be really impactful I related a lot to D speaking about religion quite a bit and feeling sort of disappointed in humanity because the God we were told about seems to be two different people a loving all- knowing father and then a deeply jealous and self-obsessed God that reflects to much of Humanity's worst qualities

these are two of my favorite books of all time and this is doing very similar things to both of these

even in the wise man's sphere there's you know words missing
