I really loved the couple of Smith's poems I'd read before, as well as his nonfiction book; his writing is beautiful. But this fell somewhat short of my expectations, and I'm wondering if his writing has improved significantly in the few years since it was published. I would definitely still recommend it, and his poems are amazing commentaries on race of course. I look forward to reading more of his work.
