Lush prose teeming with justified anger, disillusionment, and exhaustion. I highly recommend this collection of poetry, and “The First Water Is The Body” was my favorite poem. It commented on rivers and humans as mirrors, and not so different. Both worthy of protection, dignity, and reverence.
Overall, this was a thought-provoking and evocative collection of poems, forcing U.S.ians especially to confront our shameful, oppressive, and violent history. I will definitely be buying a physical copy for my home library.
