Poet Saeed Jones Searches For His Authentic Self

from WBEZ's Reset · host WBEZ Chicago

Poet Saeed Jones’s new memoir How We Fight For Our Lives is at once raw and painful...and achingly beautiful. Jones writes about growing up black and gay and trying figure out how to carve out an identify separate from the people he loves most. An identity that is authentically him...and space where he can find joy in himself.
