I can tell that Michael’s story is going to be incredibly important for so many young people, particularly those who see themselves reflected in the pages of THE BLACK FLAMINGO. I also really liked how this book is told from a British perspective. ”A novel in verse, this is the poignant and impassioned coming-of-age story of Michael, a mixed-race gay teen who is searching for his identity: Michael Brown. There are some particularly powerful poems nestled within this narrative; the moments that focused on fathers and blackness particularly resonated with me, but it was also beautiful to read about his Greek-Cypriot family and the drag family he finds at uni.
