 /p>\n<p>An essay collection from culture critic Lawrence Burney that is a 
 personal and analytical look at his home city of Baltimore\, music from th
 roughout the global Black diaspora\, and the traditions that raised him. F
 or fans of Hanif Abdurraqib\, Kiese Laymon\, and Isaac Fitzgerald. There a
 re moments throughout our lives when we discover an artist\, an album\, a 
 film\, or a cultural artifact that leaves a lasting impression\, helping i
 nform how we understand the world\, and ourselves\, moving forward.&nbsp\;
 In&nbsp\;No&nbsp\;Sense&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Wishing\, Lawrence Burney explores 
 these profound interactions with incisive and energizing prose\, offering 
 us a personal and critical perspective on the people\, places\, music\, an
 d art that transformed him.&nbsp\;In&nbsp\;a time when music is spearheadi
 ng Black Americans' connection with Africans on The Continent\, Burney tak
 es trips to cover the bubbling creative scenes&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Lagos and Jo
 hannesburg that inspire teary-eyed reflections of self and belonging. Seei
 ng his mother perform as the opening act at a Gil Scott-Heron show as a ch
 ild inspires an essay about parent-child relationships and how personal ta
 ste is often inherited. And a Maryland crab feast with family facilitates 
 an assessment of how the Black people&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;his home state have h
 istorically improvised paths for their liberation. Taking us on a journey 
 from the streets of Baltimore to the concert halls of Lagos\,&nbsp\;No&nbs
 p\;Sense&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Wishing&nbsp\;is a kaleidoscopic exploration of Bu
 rney's search for self. With its gutsy and uncompromising criticism alongs
 ide intimate personal storytelling\, it's like an album that hits all the 
 right notes\, from a promising writer on the rise.</p>\n<p>To learn more a
