“There is no moment in America when I do not feel like I am fighting. When I do not feel like I'm pushing back against a machine that asks me to prove that I belong here.”

The book is similar to " #GoAheadInTheRain: Notes to #ATribeCalledQuest" by #HanifAbdurraqib , another highly recommended book. As a massive fan of the #NativeTongues , I could've written these books. Both are a bit of tearjerkers too.

I love basketball, lyricism, and multifaceted memoirs. I loved this book, about a Black kid growing up in urban Columbus in the 1990s, from the bottom of my middle-aged white lady heart.

Years ago I was lucky enough to hear Hanif Abdurraqib read at an event—a wonderful experience
Button Poetry @hanifabdurraqib, from The Crown Ain't Worth Much: http://bit.ly/hanifcrown WHEN I SAY THAT LOVING ME IS KIND OF LIKE BEING A CHICAGO BULLS FAN what I mean is that my father can tell a bunch of cool stories about back in the day when I was truly great. there is a mountain of gold that has gathered dust in the corner where I used to sleep, and look at all of these pictures. in this one, I am wearing rainbow shorts and hurling rocks at a shoreline. in this one, I am smiling in the glow of 13 lit candles pushed into a sheet of dark sugar. you may ask why 1 allow my face to drown in less and less joy with each passing year and I will say I just woke up one day and I was a still photo in everyone else's home but my own. or I will say I promise that my legs just need another season, and then I will be who you fell in love with again. and then probably just I'm sorry that there was once a tremendons blue skey and then a decade of hard, incessant rain.

In Defense of Despair
The feeling is most commonly framed as an end point, a level of despondency that cannot be overcome. But it doesn’t have to be so.

Bay Area! Surely somebody wants my ticket to see Hanif Abdurraqib at City Arts & Lectures on April 3! I have a ticket but I also have a conflict, and I’d hate to see it go to waste. Even includes a copy of his new book! www.cityarts.net/event/hanif-...

“I do not waste time or language on our enemies, beloved. But if I ever did, I would tell them that there is a river between what they see and what they know. And they don’t have the heart to cross it.” - Hanif Abdurraqib - There’s Always This Year.
