Description
Imperial Liquor: PoemsImperial Liquor is a chronicle of melancholy, a reaction to the monotony of racism. These poems concern loneliness, fear, fatigue, rage, and love; they hold fatherhood held against the vulnerability of the black male body, aging, and urban decay. Part remembrance, part swan song for the Compton, California of the 1980s, Johnson examines the limitations of romance to heal broken relationships or rebuild a broken city. Slow Jams, red lit rooms, cheap
Imperial Liquor is a chronicle of melancholy, a reaction to the monotony of racism. These poems concern loneliness, fear, fatigue, rage, and love; they hold fatherhood held against the vulnerability of the black male body, aging, and urban decay. Part remembrance, part swan song for the Compton, California of the 1980s, Johnson examines the limitations of romance to heal broken relationships or rebuild a broken city. Slow Jams, red-lit rooms, cheap liquor, like seduction and betrayal--what's more American? This book tracks echoes, rides the residue of music "after the love is gone." Smokey the most dangerous menin my neighborhood
only listened to love songs to reach those notes
a musicologist told me
a man essentially cuts his own throat. some nights
even now, i'll hear a falsetto
and think i should run

Love these authentic FP moxie jeans
Size: 29, Color: Truest Blue
I purchased two pairs of moxie FP jeans on Amazon both on sale. I love how different they are. The paint splatters are just the right amount in my opinion. I think the barrel leg is just wide enough without being obnoxious. I like an oversized look and these were the right price for me on Amazon. I love the rope waistband on these too

“Gorgeous Color and Great Fit”
Size: 9, Color: Atlantic Blue
I absolutely love these Sam Edelman Bay sandals in Atlantic-/Tide-blue. The 9 M fit me perfectly — true to size and very comfortable right out of the box. The leather is soft but sturdy, and the slide design makes it super easy to throw on for errands, brunch, or just relaxing around town. The footbed has enough cushioning that my feet don’t feel tired after a few hours. Overall, great quality and style, and they look more expensive than they really are.
