His social justice and education advocacy for prisoners, at-risk youth, and other vulnerable populations are central to his writing.
His reputation and visibility mirror fellow notable poets of color including Hanif Abdurraqib, Danez Smith, Natalie Diaz, Morgan Parker, Aja Monet, and Eve Ewing.
Tongo is well known around the U.S. and beyond since his first book with City Lights, Heaven Is All Goodbyes, was shortlisted for the 2018 Griffin International Poetry Prize. (Ben Lerner was a judge for that prize and is a strong advocate of Tongo's work.)
Heaven Is All Goodbyes also won a California Book Award, an American Book Award, a PEN Oakland Award, and the NCIBA Award for Poetry from Northern California Independent booksellers.
Tongo's profile has grown exponentially. He received praise for Heaven Is All Goodbyes from Claudia Rankine, Joshua Bennett, and Nikki Giovanni.
Endorsements for Blood on the Fog received from Terrance Hayes, Gerald Horne, Justin Philip Reed, and Kiese Laymon. Sonia Sanchez may provide one, as well.
