"They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us, —Hanif Abdurraqib—
Hanif Abdurraqib thinks about music the way most people think about food, which is to say that it is indispensable — vital, even — to his being on this earth. Through these essays, Abdurraqib articulates what we hear in music and plays it back to us as if it's our own voice: strange, surprising, but undoubtedly ours." —27th Letter Books, Detroit MI
