## Description

Debut Collection from the 2026 American Boooksellers Association Indie Bookstore Ambassador, Hanif Abdurraquib
* Recipient of the MacArthur Foundation "Genius Grant" * 2017 Eric Hoffer Book Award - Poetry Honorable Mention * 2017 Eric Hoffer Book Award - Grand Prize Short List * 2017 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award Nominee The Crown Ain't Worth Much, Hanif Abdurraqib's first full-length collection, is a sharp and vulnerable portrayal of city life in the United States. A regular columnist for MTV.com, Abdurraqib brings his interest in pop culture to these poems, analyzing race, gender, family, and the love that finally holds us together even as it threatens to break us. Terrance Hayes writes that Abdurraqib "bridges the bravado and bling of praise with the blood and tears of elegy." The poems in this collection are challenging and accessible at once, as they seek to render real human voices in moments of tragedy and celebration.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive work
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 July 2020*

Made a great gift My Dad loves it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What Came First is Who You Really Are and What Happened Before is What Really Happened
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 24 July 2017*

If Mary Oliver is the poet who channels the wildness of the natural world into images that are comprehensible to us mortals, then Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib is the poet who telescopes the Pop (Punk) landscape across streets and highways, in cars and at parties, in the barber's chair. He fixes his own joy and pain to songs and celebrities and ideas of family that we all share, shining a light on memories and nostalgia, revealing a depth and power that we knew were there, but couldn't fully see. These poems are gifts, helping us see the poetic in each of our engagements with music and film and television and life.Simultaneously, these same poems set out for all, the experience of being a young black man in America. I like to think that I think things like, "Oh, it must be crazy to be a black driver or a black kid or do anything, really, as a black person in this country." Like, that thinking that thought makes me a maybe "woke" white guy. Reading these poems made me realize there's so much I don't understand and I don't even know if understanding *that* lack of understanding is helpful. Yet, this work (this book of poetry) is so good and so open, it makes us return to the pain that is here, trying to find an answer.To paraphrase Rumi: Outside, beyond ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a club, they're playing Tribe. I will meet you there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful collection
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 July 2018*

Fantastic collection of poetry. Different to anthologies I have read previously but just as beautiful. Every line is golden.
