challenging emotional reflective fast-paced
A gorgeous collection! I'm surprised I didn't run out of post-it flags while reading this book. In the first half of the collection, I was most impressed by the poems about motherhood and the relationships between mothers and daughters. In the latter half the book, the poems seem to be more inspired by real-life events and people (e.g. Sandra Bland, Whitney Houston, Serena Williams). I was trying to track which poems stood out to me the most, but I ended up marking a <i>lot</i> of poems, so here are just a few of my favorites: "Speak to Me of My Mother, Who Was She," "Birmingham," "All Too Normal," "I Know You Didn't Mean to Kill Him: An Excerpt."

Thank you to the publisher (Berkley) for a free advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
