A delicious little collection of poems. Not every poem hit, but the ones that did, whoa boy. "She Said" is maybe the most powerful of the bunch and one that will stick with me. Codjoe definitely has a specific style and many of the same themes that pop up throughout her poetry. Her poems are real, no holding back, and I enjoyed the style. Themes of being a woman and a woman of color as well as her reflections on art and life are very well done.
