The Wishing Flower / A.J. Irving
Today, I want to talk about a picture book. Because this year has been breaking my heart, and this book felt like a band-aid. A band-aid doesn’t make the wound vanish, but it protects it and – under ideal circumstances

Prayers, Oubliettes, and Peacock Feathers: Natalie Diaz
Natalie Diaz’ debut collection When My Brother Was an Aztec has been on my shelf for some time now – it came out in 2014, so it’s by no means a recent addition to my library. I re-read it yesterday

Is Evaristo’s Mr. Loverman a Gentleman?
Folk used to tell me I looked like a young Sidney Poitier. Now they say I resemble a (slightly) older Denzel Washington. Who am I to argue? The facts is the facts. (6) Barry turns heads. He is a handsome
