When Sex & Candy Don't Fill You Up

Malakai Amani's "When Sex & Candy Don't Fill You Up" takes the pain of isolation, depression, mourning relationships, family members, and overall loss of self to a dark place while still managing to declare there's light to be found out of it. In the more than forty poems, "Notes" and several prose, he takes the reader's hand as he himself begins to understand what all the trauma was leading up to and how trauma is passed down. This is a read for an audience eager to take in the darkness, simmer in it, understand its importance, and embrace the warm light in the end.
