Do yourself a favor and listen to this book. Read it in paperback. Carry it with you and memorize its reminders. A beautiful book that seems to have been working it’s way through the author for years. A beautiful reminder of our unique humanity. Grateful to have it in the world.

Through poverty, adolescence, and a fraught relationship with her mother, Ashley Ford wishes she could turn to her father for hope and encouragement. There are just a few problems: he’s in prison, and she doesn’t know what he did to end up there. She doesn’t know how to deal with the incessant worries that keep her up at night, or how to handle the changes in her body that draw unwanted attention from men. In her search for unconditional love, Ashley begins dating a boy her mother hates.

From award-winning poet Saeed Jones, How We Fight for Our Lives is a stunning coming-of-age memoir written at the crossroads of sex, race, and power. Blending poetry and prose, Jones has developed a style that is equal parts sensual, beautiful, and powerful - a voice that’s by turns a river, a blues, and a nightscape set ablaze. How We Fight for Our Lives is a one-of-a-kind memoir and an audiobook that cements Saeed Jones as an essential writer for our time.

A great way to experience this beautiful, courageous work, in the author’s own voice. So touched by the bravery and vulnerability in this clear, easy to read memoir full of hard truths. The author’s voice and writing are engaging, funny, and poignant. Highly recommend.

IRL is a sweaty summertime poem composed like a long text message, rooted in the epic tradition of A.R. Ammons, ancient Kumeyaay Bird Songs, and Beyoncé’s visual albums. It follows Teebs, a reservation-born, queer NDN weirdo, trying to figure out his impulses/desires/history in the midst of Brooklyn rooftops, privacy in the age of the Internet, street harassment, suicide, boys boys boys, literature, colonialism, religion, leaving one's 20s, and a love/hate relationship with English.

So wonderful to hear Teebs read his own work. Will listen to this over and over to let it sink it. This is a powerful epic poem that looks at race, class, sexuality, and many other topics with grace, humor and realness. Such an awesome work.

Tiffany can't avoid being funny: it's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Black Unicorn to be better than the print version?
what a fun, brave, authentic telling of her stories. Loved listening to every minute. This woman is amazing. Hearing her speak it all herself is SO MUCH FUN! It's like having her tell you all her stories while you go about your business.
What did you like best about this story?
Tiffany.
What does Tiffany Haddish bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her huge, wonderful, hilarious voice. Makes it so much better than reading.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! It's as close as I get to hanging out with her, and I could not get enough.
