jones's poems are unashamedly honest, an open wound of grief and healing that demands the reader not look away. incredible collection ruminating, whispering, and screaming all at once on race, god, love, and life. it's cohesive, well paced, and peppered with unique poem formats, none of which felt gimmicky for the sake of having done something new—it all felt purposeful. just an extremely poignant and enjoyable read.
