 powerhouse of a book, and a new pinnacle for Chinaka Hodge…She deserves a 
 wide audience, an attentive audience, an audience that wants to be 
 astounded.” Oakland’s Daveed Diggs, star of the Pulitzer-Prize winning 
 and Tony-nominated Hamilton adds, "Chinaka Hodge is hands down, 
 unequivocally, my favorite writer of words…These are poems to read every 
 day. To make mantras from. They are the best poems you've ever 
 read."Chinaka Hodge's poems, editorials, interviews and prose have been 
 featured in Newsweek, San Francisco Magazine, Believer Magazine, PBS, NPR, 
 CNN, C-Span, and in two seasons of HBO’s Def Poetry. She worked at Youth
