5/9/2023 0 Comments Homie by danez smithThey helped to establish The Dark Noise Collective, a group of poets from traditionally marginalised communities coming together to raise their voices and support each other. This is so far from the truth, however, and a brief trawl online will show that for many years they worked diligently, chipping away at the edifice of the contemporary literary community, making their own roads and establishing their own voice. For the uninformed, it is as though Danez appeared fully formed on the literary scene a few years ago. Homie is Danez’s third full collection of poems. I don’t see the flaws or negative points in the object of my affection, be it a tree, a person or, in this case, the zesty green volume of poetry which is Homie by Danez Smith. I find it impossible to be objective when I fall in love.
