Ok definitely check content warnings first because it centers around some very heavy material but it’s GREAT. It came out this year and was long listed for the National book award. The author is also a fantastic poet.
Super well written and has been a consistent favorite of mine for years. If you like Kerouac you’ll also like the other beat poets probably. Allen Ginsberg‘s poem Kaddish is in my opinion the best thing he ever wrote. I think it beats howl.
have yet to get my hands on the book but the poem is so beautiful… heard it first on the new yorker poetry pod when aria aber talked about it but i swear i’ve reread it at least once a week for like 6 months now
