A review by shaychestnut
The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks: (american Poets Project #19) by Gwendolyn Brooks

5.0

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. My favorites were the mother, The Lovers of the Poor, and We Real Cool (one of her most popular poems, of course). Her rhythm jumps off the page. I had to look up recordings of her readings on youtube and now I appreciate her talent even more. She's a new favorite of mine and I want to return to this again.
