Why read it?
1 author picked I'm Always so Serious as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am always on the verge of returning home. Sometimes, it’s the food; other times, it’s the memory. I am not from New Orleans, but this book is phenomenal in its guidance of a city and what it means to name any place home.
From its onset, this collection moves through music and mythology as a means for sorting through devastation while placing life a step ahead of it.
I’d recommend this book to any seasoned (or first) reader of poetry on the search for beauty around the corner and a reminder of how close we are to it.
From Olatunde's list on contemporary poetry books revisiting music.
