Until this evening I had not heard of Danez Smith. Now I want to buy his book of poetry Don’t Call Us Dead. I want to know more. What a voice. What a poet. What a man.
Enjoy is the wrong word. Listen, be thrilled, be moved, be ashamed, be inspired.

I am all those things – thank you for sharing, I hadn’t heard of him before either.
I think a visit to the Poetry Library soon may be in order.
Very powerful!
Yes. I now learn Danez prefers the gender neutral they to he or she, so I may need to edit what I wrote.
