Leonards sophomore collection, Another Land of My Body, collects singular poems, each a distinct marvel, even as together they witness aging, champion the resilience of desire, articulate Black Southern identity, memorialize the unequal burdens of the pandemic across racial and socioeconomic strata, and preserve the time capsule of ones particular memories that will depart with them when they go. When "COVID pumped up on" Ms. Clematine and Ms. Bessie Will, who "paid taxes in an American town with six ICU beds," "the heirloom chitlins / & pound cake recipes / & summer-white buckets of Budweiser / To B.B. King went hush." Leonards impeccable ear subverts legacy, using the musicality of lyric and the sonic patterning of form to remember neighbors alongside martyrs of the police state: "Heels cold cold-heeled history heels claimed cold: / Ahmaud Arbery--George Floyd--Rayshard Brooks." In these pages, every figure is totemic, reiterating the invaluable outside the ceaseless binds of global capitalism. Leonard writes, "She wears her own hair & Fashion Fair. / Stutter ignores her penchant / For fried whiting & hushpuppies. / No one I know calls her baby." "Here is a woman as monument," he says. "My mothers allure wasnt from a magazine; / Jet came later." In his own style, Leonard, too, is truly original, always encountering new terrain as he brings the past along. His poems are oft dispatches from "an abrupt ravine," where "[he] learned another land of [his] body." They are also lifelines, brief housecalls, promises of reunion amid temporary goodbyes. "Im at my retrospective," he answers the phone. "Let me call you back."
