Don't Call Us Dead: Poems by Danez Smith

5.0

I didn't understand or 'got' every single poem in this collection, but that's okay. Up and foremost this book isn't for me.
I hoped I still learned something from it.
The sections I loved were so incredibly powerful and important that the ones that weren't for me didn't hinder my love for this collection.
My absolute favorite sections were "summer, somewhere" and "everyday is a funeral & a miracle"
The other sections I loved were: "dear white america", "dinosaurs in the hood", "... nigga", "crown" and "strange dowry"
