A review by cdimario
In the Language of My Captor by Shane McCrae

dark emotional reflective slow-paced

5.0

A poetry book that is hard to put down as the poetry reinstates commonly understood ideas about racism, and challenges the reader by further elaborating on these not so distant issues. The title is perfect for this book and is a worthy read for anyone looking to sit down and actually listen.
