A review by leigh_reidelberger
Ordinary Beast by Nicole Sealey

4.0

Ordinary Beast:Poems is a really great collection by a very talented, poetic visionary. I know that sounds like a semi- pretentious way to describe a book of poetry, but Nicole Sealey really made me think in a way I haven't in a while. While the poems in their entirety are great, it's how many times I found single lines at a time that said so much and made me want to commit them to memory that made me fall in love. I've had this book just a couple hours and it's already dog earred.
