It occurred how I've been on something of a nonfiction binge of late. While these writers bear some resemblance, to myself as well, each offers a unique take on the narrative I'm evidently in need of receiving.

A Spell to Banish Grief
Read:
A Poem from @newyorker
By: Saeed Jones
Only when you wake to a fistful of pulled hair on the floor beside your bed and, from a glance, can guess its weight, when you study dried tear streaks on your cheeks like a farmer figuring out where the season went wrong, when a friend calls out your name three or four times before you know your name is yours, when your name fits like clothes you’ve suddenly outgrown, when there is too much of you, too few of you, too you of you, and the mirrors wish all of you would just look away, when the clocks can’t feel their hands and the calendars begin to doubt themselves, when you begin to agree with the glares from mirrors but your reflection follows you around the house anyway, when you catch yourself drunk on memory, candles lit, eyes closed, your head tilted in the direction of cemetery grass, yellow and balding above what’s left of the body that birthed you, and you try to remember the sound of laughter in her throat and fail, only then, orphan, will I take all my selves and leave.
This is drawn from “Alive at the End of the World.”
{ I don't think this month I'll have too much time to read this month, but I do want to participate in some way to the Nonfiction November with this amazing memoir: How We Fight for Our Lives by Saeed Jones💕} • • • #saeedjones #howwefightforourlives #nonfiction #memoir #bookstagrammer #nonfictionnovember #livresque #simonandschuster (à Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4X9SlxglWl/?igshid=1uc2i5ba9eshi
{ Thank you @simonschusterca for this great book mail! I can't wait to get my heartbroken by Saeed Jones' memoir and Petina Gappah's Out of Darkness, Shining Light. And of course I can't wait to read Nicolás Giacobone's debut novel that sounds suspenseful and weird and right up my alley💜} • • • #simonandschuster #bookhaul #bookmail #instalivre #saeedjones #nicolasgiacobone #petinagappah #bookishcanadians (à Rimouski, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1L_WPygWeO/?igshid=1cvz5xpv1j98s

"I'm obsessed with manhood as a brutal and artful performance," said Poet Saeed Jones. "My mind always finds its way back to the crossroads where sex, race and power collide." @theferocity also serves as the Literary Editor @buzzfeed #SaeedJones #Poet #Editor #Author #PreludeToABruise #Manhood #Power #BlackGayMen #OurStory #BlackManMagic #WordsOfWisdom #NativeSon (at Edgware Barnet, Edgware)
