“I think the best book of poetry I’ve read this year. The sounds, the images, the movements between them, and the history rolled into it all.”

“I sorta don't have any words for this, but I will say that Girmay's poetry is one that I can see myself revisiting--especially this volume.
I underlined a lot, and felt a lot as well, but again with poetry I find myself unable to properly "review" or explore my thoughts without revisiting it at least one more time.
But yes, definitely recommend.”

“This book is so beautiful and like the sea it is a book that carries and thrashes. The Black Maria so powerful and gentle. So huge-seeming and granular. no one is special no one is special but in every way. Also this book is the only one I have read that have made me grateful to flies, or made me think differently about them, see them from a different perspective.”
