challenging reflective slow-paced

I enjoyed a portion of the poems in this collection. I enjoyed trying to identify the types of poems each one is, and I enjoyed being exposed to a new (to me) genre or poetry. I will certainly revisit the poems that stood out to me.

Do not recommend. While I absolutely loved some of the poets included they included a very racist sexist white poet who uses the N-word.  This book was published in the late 90s there’s zero reason for that. 

The gross sexism and racism diminishes the work of the other poets. 

The only reason it isn’t a 1 star is because of the amazing poems by a few other poets in the collection who had no idea that he was going to be featured.
