The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
4.0

This was solid and definitely worth reading. I definitely connected a lot more with the part of this set at university than the rest of it. This had a lot to say about what it's like to be mixed race and queer. It's a book about finding yourself and how a person's identity changes over time. I absolutely loved the last poem in this about coming out and there were other little moments throughout that I also connected with. I didn't connect with all of it, but I recognize that this book wasn't written for me. I definitely think it was well written and successfully accomplished what it set out to do.
