Hanif Abdurraqib's second poetry collection continues his exploration of what it means to be Black in America, working through grief for his mother, meditation on Black masculinity, and reflection on the cultural touchstones that shape identity. The poems range from meditation on Michael Jordan's famous last shot to consideration of why none of his Black friends wanted to hear Journey's Don't Stop Believin', to reckoning with his mother's death and its ongoing reverberations. Abdurraqib brings the same cultural criticism sensibility that marks his essays to poetry, reading popular culture as text that reveals deeper truths about American life. The collection's title suggests both the fortune cookie prophecy and the disaster for which it prepares, capturing the precarity of Black life where catastrophe always threatens. Abdurraqib writes about love and loss with directness that resists sentimentality while allowing genuine emotion. His poems about his mother refuse consolation while finding ways to continue living with her absence. The collection showcases Abdurraqib's formal range, moving from prose poems to shorter lyrics, each form matching its content. The result is a book that speaks to specific Black experience while achieving the universality that poetry at its best can claim.
