Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine
3.0

Citizen packs a heavy punch. It deals with some real issues that we need to talk about as a society. Interspersed with the book are photos and images that add to the narrative. For me, there are some incredibly powerful poems here, but there are also times that I was drifting away from the text. This is an important read, but not one of my favorite reads.
