They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us

This is one of those books that I don’t feel smart enough to read and I mean that as a compliment. The poetry and criticism are so sharp and deep and wholly human. The stories are horrifying and harrowing but also hopeful and fascinating. I learned a ton and I know these essays are going to haunt me for days to come
