Rooted in the loss of one of Smith's close friends, this book comes out of the search for joy and intimacy within a nation where both can seem scarce and getting scarcer. In poems of rare power and generosity, Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence, xenophobia, and disparity, and in a body defined by race, queerness, and diagnosis, it can be hard to survive, even harder to remember reasons for living. But then the phone lights up, or a shout comes up to the window, and family--blood and chosen--arrives with just the right food and some redemption. Part friendship diary, part bright elegy, part war cry, \u003ci\u003eHomie \u003c\/i\u003eis the exuberant new book written for Danez and for Danez's friends and for you and for yours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danez Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1644450100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644450109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2020","brand":"Danez Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053341372671,"sku":"9781644450109","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b2dddc8-345a-49f5-adaa-cbb0f5887bae.jpg?v=1685023815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homie-danez-smith-9781644450109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
