""Brookins’s debut full-length collection explores what it really means to be free in America, particularly as a Black, queer, trans writer living in Texas; their writing style is urgent and timely while still holding space for the possibility of a life lived on one’s own terms."" —Emma Specter, Vogue ""KB Brookins’s Freedom House is an unapologetic, forward-dreaming manifesto for a better, shared future."" —Chaney Hill, Southern Review of Books
