Description
A dazzling, deeply felt collection of poems, *Homie* is a love letter to friendship, Black and queer community, and the sustaining power of genuine connection. Written in the wake of loss, these poems move through grief, identity, racism, sexuality, and social injustice while finding joy, humor, tenderness, and solidarity in everyday relationships. With Smith’s sharp, plainspoken, theatrically inventive style, the collection transforms personal pain into a communal celebration—and a rallying cry for love as an act of survival.
