Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Hot Glue Gun Chronicles is a flaming assemblage of penetrating verse and poetic musicality. Crooks-Allen’s timely offering, in the tradition of Black queer poets like June Jordan and Pat Parker before them, does not shy away from the straight-up truth. In their words, we might very well locate the keys to our own internal freedom.” - Darnell Moore, author of No Ashes in The Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America

"What an honor it has been to cultivate this manuscript and elevate the voice of Dr. Ashley Crooks-Allen. I published this book because I believe in its mission- to put together the broken and to create beauty from unexpected pieces. Ashley invites us to revisit subjects we may have fooled ourselves into thinking we'd moved on from- gently saying 'Aht-aht! There's more work to do here.'" - Kiera "Ashlee Haze" Nelson, Poet & CEO, Philosophy Media Group & Kiera Ashlee Talent Co

Beautiful and Impactful

I wish I had the words to do this book's review justice, but I'm ultimately flattered that I get to be a first reviewer because I have no doubt this book is going places. It's captivating, raw, clever and just a really special gift to the world.
