Description
In this powerful collection, Danez Smith confronts the realities of Black, queer life in America with unflinching honesty and breathtaking lyricism. These poems navigate the treacherous landscapes of racism, homophobia, and violence, while simultaneously celebrating love, joy, and resilience. Smith's voice is both urgent and tender, weaving together myth, scripture, and the vernacular to create a tapestry of profound beauty and searing truth. "Don't Call Us Dead" is a vital testament to survival and a defiant anthem for the living.
