In his much-anticipated follow-up to The Crown Ain't Worth Much, poet, essayist, biographer, and music critic Hanif Abdurraqib has written a book of poems about how one rebuilds oneself after a heartbreak, the kind that renders them a different version of themselves than the one they knew. 

It's a book about a mother's death, and admitting that Michael Jordan pushed off, about forgiveness, and how none of the author's black friends wanted to listen to "Don't Stop Believin'". It's about wrestling with histories, personal and shared. Abdurraqib uses touchstones from the world outside - from Marvin Gaye to Nikola Tesla to his neighbor's dogs - to create a mirror, inside of which every angle presents a new possibility.

Very Enjoyable

I liked the frank realism in the poetry, the modern references to Marvin Gaye, President Obama, among many others. The author reads his poetry and I really like that because the raw emotion comes through as well as personal insight into the poems as he comments and explains about them. His imagination adds so much to the book, for example, several poems are in the imaginary voice of Marvin Gaye including when Marvin's ghost visits the grave of his father who shot him. Another interesting thing is when he says "how can black people write about flowers at a time like this", but he doesn't explain (unless I missed it) why he says this so often in the book. A mystery. I loved the book and I think you will as well
