Michal " MJ" Jones' debut Hood Vacations is a rhythmic & quiet rumbling - an unflinching recollection of Blackness, queerness, gender, and violence through lenses of family lineage and confessional narrative. A nostalgia for an unreachable home permeates these poems: " We were mighty beautiful once, in golden dust." The speaker of Hood Vacations tells of magic: of praying mantises, bathtub octopuses, Black ghosts, & bringing back " rainbow soap colors" . It is a book of passing - as, through, and on. Hop on in.
