I have to admit that I picked up this book of poetry because of the title - I mean who doesn't love Byeonce?
I found the style of poetyy did not connect with me - I am curious to read more of this poets work because of the subject matter and how she brings in current cultural issues and the imagery that she uses.

“her daughter learns about beauty discovers nothing surprising” took my breathe away. I’ve heard about the experiences of Black girlhood from friends and college roommates, but whew this hit me in the gut. Stunning work. I read this book, but I need to get the audio version, I believe these works would be all the more stunning in that form.

We think we are owed.
Everything, but especially silence.
A secret is during commercials
I am living other lives, sautéing
green vegetables, imagining spring
breeze carry me through the apartment
like a branch, or a painter.
i feel like over a quarter of this collection went over my head but the poems i did connect with were very good, wish there was a deeper analysis somewhere! i love finishing a poetry book and feel like i just worked out

A wonderful and dark meditation on black American womanhood, depression, life in late capitalism, pop culture layers...highly recommend. I read it twice, some poems 3 times.
