Homie - Danez Smith Kartoniert (TB)

A mighty anthem about the saving grace of friendship Danez Smith's highly anticipated collection Homie is rooted in their search for joy and intimacy in a time where both are scarce. In poems of rare power and generosity Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence xenophobia and disparity and in a body defined by race queerness and diagnosis it can be hard to survive even harder to remember reasons for living. But then the phone lights up or a shout comes up to the window and family - blood and chosen - arrives with just the right food and some redemption.
