 /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 t
 hroughout the global Black diaspora\, and the traditions that raised him. 
 For fans of Hanif Abdurraqib\, Kiese Laymon\, and Isaac Fitzgerald. There 
 are moments throughout our lives when we discover an artist\, an album\, a
  film\, or a cultural artifact that leaves a lasting impression\, helping 
 inform 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\, a
 nd art that transformed him.&nbsp\;In&nbsp\;a time when music is spearhead
 ing Black Americans' connection with Africans on The Continent\, Burney ta
 kes trips to cover the bubbling creative scenes&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Lagos and J
 ohannesburg that inspire teary-eyed reflections of self and belonging. See
 ing his mother perform as the opening act at a Gil Scott-Heron show as a c
 hild inspires an essay about parent-child relationships and how personal t
 aste 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 
 historically improvised paths for their liberation. Taking us on a journey
  from the streets of Baltimore to the concert halls of Lagos\,&nbsp\;No&nb
 sp\;Sense&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Wishing&nbsp\;is a kaleidoscopic exploration of B
 urney's search for self. With its gutsy and uncompromising criticism along
 side intimate personal storytelling\, it's like an album that hits all the
  right notes\, from a promising writer on the rise." ~ From the Catalog</p
