Gorgeous and gut-wrenchingly honest, Danez Smith’s latest poetry collection is an ode to friendship in its realest forms. These poems are gloriously indulgent. Revelling in blackness, queerness, and ideas of revolution. A must read.
Picked By Ríbh
A mighty anthem about the saving grace of friendship, Danez Smith’s highly anticipated collection Homie is rooted in their search for joy and intimacy in a time where both are scarce. In poems of rare power and generosity, Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence, xenophobia and disparity, and in a body defined by race, queerness, and diagnosis, it can be hard to survive, even harder to remember reasons for living.
But then the phone lights up, or a shout comes up to the window, and family – blood and chosen – arrives with just the right food and some redemption. Part friendship diary, part bright elegy, part war cry, Homie is written for friends: for Danez’s friends, for yours.
