"This is an absolutely striking collection that brims with life. Many of the poems inspired visceral reactions from me, and the poems themselves are often concerned with viscera and the body as a physical site. Queen reckons with her family's history and her own place in it in a manner reminiscent to the work done by Beyoncé in
Lemonade. Her work deals with the past, present, and future in equal measure simultaneously. She 'resurrect[s] the excised archive of [her] relatives' and uses it as the skeleton of her writing, writing that will linger in the reader's thoughts for months."
