There's a lot of sad in this, and it's not really a beautiful restful poetry book it's more of a mourning and rebellion book. The author discusses human rights violations against African Americans and queer people and women, writes poetic responses to celebrities like Kanye and Serena and Michelle Obama, and does some experimenting with form like a word search for women murdered as a racist hate crime. Even poems that should be happy like the love of a mother or romantic partner are uneasy and fearful of future pain and violence. The poems about abused slaves and rape are too real and painful to read. Overall a good thing to read, but choose a reading time when you have some emotional bandwidth free to process it.
There's also some sections on institutional abuse of the physically and mentally disabled. And some standing with missing or murdered indigenous women.
