Counting Descent by Clint Smith
4.0
Beautiful words chronicling what it's like to be an African American boy and man in America today.
The poems pack punch and gravitas as well as beauty. I particularly liked the "What the [inanimate object] told the black boy" series from a fire hydrant, cathedral, ocean, and more.
From politics to the ordinary beauty of everyday life, he captures the tensions, heart breaks, and uplifting joy in his life.
Highly recommend!!
