Prelude to Bruise

February 27, 2015 by Drew

The Short Version: A collection of ferocious, insistent, searing poems, many of them about a young gay black man only ever called Boy. Some are beautiful, others gut-wrenching – but every single one will leave a bruise. The Review: I’ve never been much of a poem guy, you see. Oh, I like Billy Collins, sure.
