Publisher's Synopsis

  • Jones is the editor of BuzzfeedLGBT and had an enormous audience both there and on social media (10k followers), as well as terrific connections in the poetry world
  • Jones is a frequent guest of reading series (he headlined the Rumpus/Guernica holiday party with Geoff Dyer) and tireless self-promoter. He has fans, and he likes to get in front of them
  • Jones' background speaks to so many different communities, he is a gay black Buddhist, raised in the South and California, and his poetry is deeply informed by what all those identities mean as they compete with and support each other
  • Jones fits in nicely on our list, and should appeal to readers of Patricia Smith (she's a fan of his, and they share a similar slam poetry energy)
  • The book, unlike much poetry, progresses through time, giving readers somewhat of a narrative to carry them along
