“Here is black brilliance doing what it do, relying on nothing but
itself to articulate its genius; here is the black experiment of
Harris where the poet is the lab, the genius, the rat, the
substance, and the boom filling the room at once.”—Danez Smith
“Insightful, contemplative, and often emotionally wrenching,
Harris’s poems reject the idea of blackness as a monolith and
reflect its multifariousness.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
