Black Girl Magic: A Poem by Mahogany L. Browne

5.0

Should it count towards my goal if the book is just one poem? Even a poem big enough to stop me in my tracks in the book store aisle, kneel on the floor, and cry?
Probably.
This was the book I wish had been on my shelf when I was young and I am so happy to be adding to my shelves now. The art is spectacular, the verses are touching and rhythmic. This is art and beauty and magic. Magic the white lady who watched me murmur this poem to myself and cry didn't understand because those weren't very understanding looks she shot me.
