Notes

Description
Punch Me Up to the Gods introduces a powerful new talent in Brian Broome, whose early years growing up in Ohio as a dark-skinned Black boy harboring crushes on other boys propel forward this gorgeous, aching, and unforgettable debut. Brian s recounting of his experiences in all their cringe-worthy, hilarious, and heartbreaking glory reveal a perpetual outsider awkwardly squirming to find his way in. Indiscriminate sex and escalating drug use help to soothe his hurt, young psyche, usually to uproarious and devastating effect. A no-nonsense mother and broken father play crucial roles in our misfit s origin story. But it is Brian s voice in the retelling that shows the true depth of vulnerability for young Black boys that is often quietly near to bursting at the seams.
