Hanif Abdurraqib writes essays, poetry and cultural criticism about music, grief, Black life and the communities people build around performance. They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us moves through concerts, artists and personal memory, using music criticism as a way to write about race, loss and belonging. A Little Devil in America examines Black performance across dance, television, stage and everyday spectacle, while Go Ahead in the Rain focuses on A Tribe Called Quest and the cultural world around the group. His poetry collections carry similar rhythms and emotional concerns in a more compressed form. Abdurraqib’s prose is lyrical, associative and deeply personal. His work suits readers of music writing, cultural essays, Black studies and hybrid memoir. Read more Less
