In this piece, L.A. brings you their raw and unfiltered experiences through exquisite and at times, intense poetry. Their poems capture the intensity of their experience and leave the reader almost smelling the water and the air from the Hudson River while grasping their chest in a lover’s desire. Their poems also remind the reader of the places where prospective love has allowed our imaginations to explore the depths and possibilities of another human. L.A. does not stop there, they expand on the hard things like the experience of being a person of color in relation to racist policing and hearing their own mother’s desperation in prayers for their safety.
L.A. eloquently captures the soulful human experience of curiosity as it relates to embodying pain and loving someone and wondering if they might love us back. As a reader prepare for a raw journey on living and loving in new and evolved ways with the poetry of L.A. McCrae!
