A regular columnist for MTV.com, Abdurraqib brings his interest in pop culture to these poems, analyzing race, gender, family, and the love that finally holds us together even as it threatens to break us. Terrance Hayes writes that Abdurraqib \"bridges the bravado and bling of praise with the blood and tears of elegy.\" The poems in this collection are challenging and accessible at once, as they seek to render real human voices in moments of tragedy and celebration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hanif Abdurraqib\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1943735042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943735044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Button Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/20\/2016","brand":"Hanif Abdurraqib","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054985736447,"sku":"9781943735044","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56432e01-6a68-4446-9250-daa09f3b6cab.jpg?v=1685033124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crown-aint-worth-much-hanif-abdurraqib-9781943735044","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
