How We Fight for Our Lives: A Memoir - Anna’s Archive

Jones, Saeed From award-winning poet Saeed Jones, How We Fight for Our Lives—winner of the Kirkus Prize and the S Simon & Schuster

The End of the World was a nightclub.
Drag queens with machetes and rhinestoned

machine guns guarded the red and impassable
door on Friday nights. Just a look at the crowd,

all dressed up and swaying outside, made people
want to yell the truth about themselves to anyone

who’d listen, but no one heard. The End of the World . . .
