| Definitely one of my favorite collections of all-time. The structure, the enjambment, the voltas. It was like reading a masterclass in poetry. The contrapuntal poem in this collection was exquisite. I think I’m going to immediately read it again. No ...more | |

| I am able to see the merit in this collection: the high caliber writing, the overall project of bringing this Pirate Anne Bonnie to life, but didn't pull me in. I think because I read Dorsey's poem "Ode to the Stroller We Bought from Facebook" and "I ...more | |

| Read for book club. I can see how Part I is a modern take on Catcher in the Rye / Perks of Being a Wallflower. I think I liked Part I the most. The story as a whole is important to spotlight bisexual men's love stories. Too often bisexual men are dis ...more | |
“I feel disconnected from the people who I know have not experienced the exposed nerves of a close loved one yanked by pliers from one's jaws. I am different from them now. They can’t know the festering wound staining my teeth red, can't know the taste of salt and iron in everything I eat.”

“I never thought I would feel lucky to have pain dripping from my pores, pain stuck to the pads of my fingers, to the bottoms of my feet, to have pain become the core of my identity in an instant, but here I am.”

“I was a curious boy, but the schools were not concerned in curiosity. They were concerned in compliance... 60% of all black men who drop out of school end up in jail. This should disgrace our country, but it does not.”

“I read about Queen Nzinga who ruled in Central Africa in the 16th century resisting the Portuguese. I read about her negotiating with the Dutch.
