Queer Book Group with Alex Discussing Bluff: Poems by Danez SmithLed by former Greenlight bookseller Alex, our Queer Book Group meets monthly to discuss contemporary fiction and nonfiction titles that relate to queer experience, identity, and community.For February, the group discusses Bluff by prize-winning poet Danez Smith! Written after two years of artistic silence, Bluff is a powerful reckoning with Smith's role and responsibility as a poet and with their hometown of the Twin Cities. It is a kind of manifesto about artistic resilience, even when time and will can seem fleeting, when the places we most love—those given and made—are burning. In this soaring collection of awakening out of violence, guilt, shame, and critical pessimism, Smith turns to honesty, hope, rage, and imagination to envision futures that seem possible.
