Publisher's summary

Honored as a "Best Book of 2014" by Library Journal

Honored as a "Standout Book of 2014" by American Poet magazine

Winner of the Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry

Paterson Award for Literary Excellence, 2015

In the world of Jericho Brown's second book, disease runs through the body, violence runs through the neighborhood, memories run through the mind, trauma runs through generations. Almost eerily quiet in even the bluntest of poems, Brown gives us the ache of a throat that has yet to say the hardest thing - and the truth is coming on fast.

Intriguing

Interesting narration. Poetry was captivating but extremely symbolic and hard to understand at times. I give this book a 3.8.
