The only thing more beautiful than Beyoncé is God, and God is a black woman sipping rosé and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly laughing in the therapist's office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist, tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altar to the complexities of black American womanhood in an age of non-indictments and déjà vu and a time of wars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate and mourn. They are a chorus chanting: You're gonna give us the love we need.

Extraordinary

I have never felt compelled to write a review before this book. This was my first time reading anything by the author and I have to say I am a huge fan now. I have listened and read many books of poems and this is the first to really inspire me and my writing. This collection is relatable, intelligent, and real. Morgan Parker gives life to each word she recites. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys poetry or who is just starting to explore it.

The time I fell for Click bait

Deep, I guess. Maybe too deep. I didn't get most of it and decided it must go into the same bin as Jordan Peele's us. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Not for me

Not for me , refund please , I don’t want it, please remove. Just not for me.

Just no.

Had high hopes. Didn't even come close. And I listened to the entire thing.
