Let Me Tell You This by Nadine Aisha Jassat

4.0

This collection really packed a punch. Of course, with every poetry collection there are some poems that resonate better than others with the reader. But this one really called out A LOT of things: racism, social injustice and (sexual) assault among others. I really liked the bluntness and openness of the poems, giving away personal experiences of the author or her family. I marked many poems as ones I want to return to some day, as I think this kind of collection will sadly, unfortunately, regrettably not grow old in the immediate future. I really encourage everyone to read this as Nadine Aisha Jassat is a powerful and important voice!
