Home. Girl. Hood.

I am asked to write about the birth of my demons. To tell how fear is born, the way it came into existence. Home.Girl.Hood is a poetry book written by Ebony Stewart, that comes out on the first of February. It’s also now my first book in the ThisYearInNetGalley challenge! Ebony Stewart is a fairly well-known poet in Texas, a top touring poet, and the only poet to perform in front of 200,000 people at the 2018 Seattle Pride Festival. I was able to read her other book Bloodfresh through NetGalley, late last year, and afterward requested this one too! I shouldn’t have done that, because while I really liked several of Stewarts' pieces, her style is not one that I really love. That being said, I'm going to sit down and look for some of her poetry readings online because I think that might make me appreciate her style more! Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and review this!
