Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine

4.0

I love the form of this -- the World Cup section was especially compelling to me. I'm also a fan of second person, and this is a great example of that going well. This was recommended to me, so I didn't realize it was poetry before I picked it up. There's nothing wrong with that, I'm just not as great at reading poetry, and I know less how to pick out what's working with it. With that said, there's still several sections in here that you should take your time with. It's worth sitting with, picking apart.
