A Fortune for Your Catastrophe

“When an creator’s unmitigated brilliance reveals up on each web page, it’s tempting to skip an outline and simply say, Learn this! Such is the case with this breathlessly highly effective, deceptively breezy e book of poetry.” —Booklist, Starred Assessment

In his much-anticipated follow-up to 
The Crown Ain’t Value A lot, poet, essayist, biographer, and music critic Hanif Abdurraqib has written a e book of poems about how one rebuilds oneself after a heartbreak, the sort that renders them a unique model of themselves than the one they knew. It is a e book a couple of mom’s demise, and admitting that Michael Jordan pushed off, about forgiveness, and the way not one of the creator’s black mates wished to hearken to “Do not Cease Believin’.” It is about wrestling with histories, private and shared. Abdurraqib makes use of touchstones from the world exterior—from Marvin Gaye to Nikola Tesla to his neighbor’s canines—to create a mirror, inside which each and every angle presents a brand new risk.
