Urbanshee by Siaara Freeman

dark emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Urbanshee is a compelling compilation from poet Siaara Freeman. It’s a celebration, a funeral, and a reckoning all rolled into one. It’s a love letter and lament of the Midwest, what it means to be queer and Black while in these spaces. Urbanshee is a recounting of painful memories and ghosts that haunt. Freeman conveys both grief and healing in a beautiful and raw style. I couldn’t put it down and look forward to reading more from her! Thank you so much to Siaara Freeman, Button Poetry, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
