"I should've listened to my instinct. I thought *maybe* the author would surprise me. No.
I don't want to shit on a Black debut author so I'm going to hold off on publicly writing about this until I parse out the author's intentions." — Nov 22, 2018 10:55AM

"I finished this book yesterday. I'm writing a thorough review for an outlet but for now, I'll say this is a good book. I think the disconnect I experienced was a consequence of the fact that I read a digital version (not my preference) and I read while in a completely different environment from which I usually do (immersed in a highly social residency).
I'll update when the review runs." — Oct 07, 2018 09:20AM

in English
already falsifies what I
wanted to tell you.
My subject:
how to explain to you that I
don't belong to English
though I belong nowhere else”
― Bilingual Blues: Poems, 1981-1994

“I stay cool, and dig all jive,
That's the way I stay alive.
My motto,
as I live and learn,
is
Dig and be dug
In return.”

“History buried becomes history repeated. A whole generation of Africans have been denied the truth of their own history, and so we do not really know ourselves, or our countries. Reclaiming those erased or hidden histories is vital political and creative work, and is central to my purpose as a writer.”
