This book of #poetry by Jan-Henry Gray brings home the nature of living and working as a Filipinx immigrant without papers - hence the title. The Maid series is quite strong, as is the essayish poem, poetic essay, near the end. He dedicates it first of all to the other POC he‘s worked with for years in restaurant kitchens. Odd/ good balance to finish this just after reading Chef Kwame‘s memoir. 4.5⭐️🏳️‍🌈

June‘s #poetry book, which fits weirdly well both with May‘s poetry book and with LITTLE MANILA IS IN THE HEART, which I‘m also reading.
