“The Hot Glue Gun Chronicles is a flaming assemblage of penetrating verse and poetic musicality. Crooks-Allen’s timely offering, in the tradition of Black queer poets like June Jordan and Pat Parker before them, does not shy away from the straight-up truth. In their words, we might very well locate the keys to our own internal freedom.”
- Darnell Moore, author of No Ashes in The Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America
