Food for Thought: There's Always This Year (February 12 Noble Creature)

Join us for Lit Youngstown's Food for Thought book discussion. We meet each month Sept.-May, at 5:30pm on the 2nd Thursday at Noble Creature, 126 E. Rayen. Haven't read the book yet? No worries.

The February title is There's Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib. This book is available at the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, and POP! Art Books Culture via Bookshop.

There’s Always This Year is a triumph, brimming with joy, pain, solidarity, comfort, outrage, and hope. No matter the subject of his keen focus—whether it’s basketball, or music, or performance—Hanif Abdurraqib’s exquisite writing is always poetry, always profound, and always a clarion call to radically reimagine how we think about our culture, our country, and ourselves.
