gorgeous. brilliant. i always find myself in awe of belcourts prose. similar to butler, belcourts language demands critical thought. i often found myself rereading and rereading paragraphs to truly begin to digest the complexity and beauty of it all. this is an incredible elegy for queer and brown life while also a celebration of life as a form of resistance. 

i can’t wait to return to this book and to share it with others. i will mention that it’s important to check the content warnings prior to reading.
