The Crown Ain't Worth Much
Hanif AbdurraqibMartin Douglas 🌲@badabullshit @BestShadowFrand Not trying to fanboy (particularly because Hanif and I are peers), but I have all of Hanif's books and they are all terrific. Little Devil and his first book of poetry (The Crown Ain't Worth Much) are the books I always recommend to new readers of his.
