"So, Life is a boring family function with relatives whose politics and personalities you don’t agree with and you’re sitting at the end of the table in the corner of the room with a stranger. This stranger turns out to be your cool distant uncle who you’ve never heard of but feel like you’ve known forever and he tells these jokes and stories about identity, colonialism, love, and life so well and so beautifully that you haven’t even noticed that the party is over and everyone is leaving. That’s how I felt after finishing this book of poems. There are better metaphors in here than that, I promise."
