Rounding out Pride Month: This is a book of free text verse by and about an Iraqi Canadian man, his husband, and their infant son. Surprising that free verse poetry in an audiobook could be this good. The narrator brought just the right emotion to the reading. Poems were deeply personal, heartfelt and compelling. ARC review, audiobook out now.

Adult content: a few poems use frank sexual language.

These free verse poems gives us a look at Namir's and his husband's journeys to becoming parents. Books like this are so necessary, society needs representation of all families and their journeys. A beautiful read, and a wonderful tribute of love. #bookreview #poetry #canlit
