No Sense In Wishing by Lawrence Burney
A collection of essays in which Lawrence Burney examines his Baltimore upbringing, Black diasporic music, and family traditions. Blending personal memoir with cultural criticism, he writes about trips to Lagos and Johannesburg, a childhood memory of his mother opening for Gil Scott-Heron, and family gatherings in Maryland to reflect on identity, belonging, and how art shapes self-understanding.
