"In a world where cruelty seems to be the choice cowardly mode of survival, to believe in the power of beauty, compassion, and love is a radical act, and with her first book, I LOVE YOU IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN, June shows us just how radical and necessary that act can be. June's words will make you feel more, laugh more, cry more, and, in the end, love more.

be about it press

I don't write about race is a poetic exploration of identity, as told through apologies, anecdotes, and admonitions. An autofictional cosmogony of a girl who has been alive too long, this collection of poems represents both the absolute culmination and the ultimate failure of the author's lifelong search for identity. As its speaker becomes ever more estranged from conventional sources and modes of meaning and kinship, delving from relationship to bar, bar to relationship, from one city, partner, and job to the next, juggling relationship between families both biological and chosen, she becomes intimately acquainted with alienation. I don't write about race engages ever more intimately with one of the fundamental questions of literature: what do you do when you wake up again, alone, and somehow still yourself?
