Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine
5.0
“How difficult is it for one body to feel the injustice wheeled at another? Are the tensions, the recognitions, the disappointments, and the failures that exploded in the riots too foreign?”
Stunning volume of poetry. Claudia’s language is beautiful, lyrical (as in the title) while expressing painful truths. I appreciated the different forms she uses throughout, and especially the power of the second person POV.
