A review by chicagobooknerd
The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks by Gwendolyn Brooks

4.0

I loved this collection because the poems were vivid and thought provoking . I felt strong emotions (which to me is a sign of a good poetry ) because of the raw nature and honesty of the topics she explores. I want to reread this collection in the future, both bc I enjoyed the poems and also some poems were a bit hard to follow (which is the only reason I deducted a star ).
