These snippets of precisely bladed black boy gospel, penned by the nonpareil son of the wild hundreds, finna resound and reach an impossible reach. --Patricia Smith, author of Incendiary Art Simply outstanding poetry. --Roxane Gay, author of Hunger and Bad Feminist I am thankful for the honesty and self-examination in this work, yes. But even beyond that, I am thankful for a speaker who speaks as my people might, yelling across a parking lot or during a card game. I am thankful that this, too, is a part of the honesty this marvelous collection is in pursuit of. --Hanif Abdurraqib, author of Go Ahead in the Rain and A Fortune for Your Disaster My original blurb was 'this book decent, ' but I was told that the editor wouldn't go for that so I am going to tell you instead that this book catalyzes a necessary conversation about Black language practices, culture, ownership, and belonging, and the commodification of Black people's tongues. . . . So, like I said, this book decent. --Eve L. Ewing, author of Electric Arches and 1919 In Finna, I hear Etheridge Knight, I hear Terrance Hayes, but most vividly, I hear Nate Marshall naming his many selves as some flee. --Saeed Jones, author of How We Fight for Our Lives and Prelude to Bruise
