Rachel Reviews: A Paper Orchestra by Michael Jamin
Michael Jamin's collection of personal essays is a tour of his life in many ways, which has elements of memoir in its self-examination but is also full of humour throughout. In some ways, it reads like a performance so I wasn't surprised when I got to the end and discovered that Jamin is actually doing a talkback to coincide with this book: my impression was apt. As someone whose occupation is screenwriter, it perhaps is not surprising that there is awareness of theatricality present.

2 Poetry Books By Black Authors I Enjoyed Recently
I love a poetry book. I love how easy the reads are, but how I still manage to leave with so much (if the poems are any good/I’m in the right headspace for them that is). I typically pick up two between longer reads. I don’t always looooove the reads. Sometimes, I only love one or two out of the whole collection. However, I always feel good for giving them a try. Here are two I think I outta let you know about. One is from an artist I was aware of before, and the other is from someone I never knew about till I saw the book on someone’s bookcase while over their place for the first time. Here they are:

Fading Echoes: The Urban Odyssey of an Abandoned Umbrella
A lone umbrella leant against an abandoned bench in the poorly lighted corner of a busy subway station. After so many storms and unintentional bumps, its once-vibrant scarlet canopy had faded.
