The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
5.0

W O W! I will start by saying that I love books written in verse. I love the blend of poetry and prose. It's hard to pull off but when it is done write it becomes moving in a way that other narrative devices lack. This book is stunning, insightful, and honest. It feels like reading your best friend's journal of poetry. It feels like stepping into the body of Michael. I think this is going to be high on my list of favorites for the year. I just adore what's been done with this work. Everyone go read this!
