Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine

5.0

What Rankine says is a visual masterpiece as you read. I had to read this twice because my first read I just enjoyed her writing and poetry.
The second time I could not only empathize with the words but visualize her descriptions.
I definitely recommend this book if youre looking into exploring more work by Black authors and aren’t sure where to begin. This isn’t to say the other works aren’t important but I’d say this is definitely a top contender if you don’t know where to begin.
