I'll fly away
poems
Book - 2020
Francisco has created his own words for the things we cannot give name to. I'll Fly Away uses Frrancisco's invented lexicon as the palette to paint an intimate portrait of black life in America- one that praises joy and grace without shying away from the hard truths confronting all of us today.
