I have never written in a book before.
Highlighting or marking up books was verboten, to me. Growing up on the edge of poor meant possessions were treasured, not to be vandalized.
Tonight I highlighted passages in THERE'S ALWAYS THIS YEAR by Hanif Abdurraqib. Granted, one of them referenced my now-shuttered high school, but still. His writing speaks loudly to me.
