Trade Review
“These are exuberant, engaging poems composed with confidence and flair. I loved this book from beginning to end. Some real standouts include 'Rx for Little Black Girls,' 'We Make Sin a Good Hymn,' and 'Ode to JET Magazine' but really it’s all outstanding, intelligent, referential in interesting ways.” — —Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist and Hunger
