we was bois together (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957840291)

we was bois together examines identities and belonging through the lenses of Blackness, queerness, and gender non-conforming narratives. The poems act as an homage and an ode to traversing these identities from childhood through adulthood. The collection is a testament to the author's deep bond with their longtime best friend, weaving together shared memories and the evolution of their connection. Central to the narrative is "boihood worldmaking," a term coined by the author to express the collaborative process of shaping their own realities and narratives. Each poem resonates with authenticity, offering a glimpse into a world where resilience, friendship, and self-discovery intertwine to create a powerful narrative of belonging and empowerment.
