Review:

Part morning affirmation, part clapback, E'mon's poems pay homage to the hood under her nose and the body in front of her mirror. Commando carves out a space for both to exist and be loved without fear, "someplace where we can just walk". --Jamila Woods, singer, songwriter and poet

Emon Lauren's Commando is a chapbook of admirable promise. Too often, if we hear about ourselves and our neighborhoods at all, the telling is secondhand and suspiciously motivated. Behold, in this book, a poet of our own. Watch her put her hands down into her home and pick up precisely what she wants to show us, and what we need to see. This is the beginning. -- Nate Marshall, author of The Wild Hundreds
