Finna: Poems by Nate Marshall
5.0
If you love language, you need to read this book. If you're black, you need to read this book. If you're not black, you need to read this book.
This and Wild Hundreds are two of the best chapbooks I've ever read. And for some reason the inventiveness of language made me think of Heather McHugh, worth checking out if you enjoy really intelligent and playful use of language.
Five stars plus, I am glad I preordered this book months ago and I'll gladly sign up now to get whatever Nate Marshall writes next.
Also, with all that our nation (U.S.) is going through these days with racial tension, books like this are desperately needed to keep the conversation moving forward.
