Trouble the Water by Derrick Austin

challenging emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.0

I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this collection when I started it.  As I continued to read the collection, I was drawn to how the poet fuses so many things together.  He blends art, music, religion, spirituality, mythology and history into the poems.  I can see why Brit Bennett recommends this collection.  It was her recommendation that caused me to pick up this collection.
