Felon: Poems by Reginald Dwayne Betts

dark emotional hopeful inspiring sad fast-paced

1.0

Audio: I like the guitar but there were times I could not hear the literal poet over them. Betts has a handsome voice 

Poetry itself: poetry itself and I have a rather hot and cold relationship so take my rating itself w a grain of salt but while there’s some lines and topics I adore women exist as a Madonna figure in this poetry collection that find very vague and dismissive of violence against women including by the author and felt like blaming the truly horrible things he lived through or acting like both partners were equally harmful to each other bc of the world when only one is consistently talking about putting or wanting to put hands on the other
