A stunning collection of narrative poems about father-son relationships, as well as grappling with racial exploitation and one's white privilege while growing up in 1970s and 80s Brooklyn. I was wondering if there's be a little more catharsis regarding the speaker's relationship to the car wash workers as he came back to work there as an adult, but life is rarely that clear cut, I suppose, and the main focus of the collection is on the relationship between parent and child.
