Haunting, beautiful, elegant, insightful. I'm not normally a fan of poetry and I really really enjoyed this.

Favorite quote:

“It should come as no surprise.
I have always used words
to try and convince the world
that I am worth something.”

Poignant, personal, powerful prose.
Makes you think, feel, contemplate, and want to take action.
Thank you Clint Smith!
Looking forward to hearing you speak in Chelmsford, Ma on Monday, January 28, 2019.

What an amazing collection of poetry. I listened to it as an audiobook, read by the poet. Smith's variett of rhythm and range of life experiences captured in his poetry are lyrical. I both laughed and cried out loud while listening.

Compeleted for the Book Riot 2020 Read Harder Challenge read an audiobook of poetry.

read this on a recommendation. I liked this book and it's overall theme. I am just not the biggest poetry fan in gernal, which is the reason for 3 stars.
