Conversations with Ralph Ellison by Ralph Ellison
A collection of love poems and fierce raps, Millefiori is Omar Musa's third book of poetry. Both dream-like and gritty, it also includes gorgeous illustrations and draft poems from Musa's notebook. Heartbreak, cocaine, colonial violence, memory, and cave paintings: this is a world full of unbearable beauty and brutality.We know the world is a horror story,
but it's also got love notes in the margins
