I will never think about recipes the same way again.
Thinky and visceral.
Loved.

An absolutely brilliant book about trans sisterhood.
So funny and so tender.
Wept, laughed, adored.

The most loving and messy family.
The warmest book.
I adored every flawed human in this novel.

Maybe my favorite poetry collection of the year so far?
Absolutely stunning.
The precision of language, the play of language. It destroyed me.

What a wise, tender, and beautiful offering about grief.
The art is gorgeous, I will be thinking about ghosts and the shapes they take up for a long time.
I want to buy copies of this to give away to people I love who are grieving.

Expansive poetry about sound and lineage.
More than one poem made me cry.
The [captions] are especially brilliant and moving.

This is brutal, a book about brutality.
The ferocity of Tamimi's love and hope is louder though.
Read, then act.

Soft sweaters, queer books, and baseball.
It's perfect.
No notes.

Every sentence in this book basically stunned me.
The beautiful precision of the languages.
The smashing together of words into worlds.

So much majestical language play.
So much looking deeply.
I ate this book.
