Becoming Billie Holiday by Carole Boston Weatherford

4.0

Defined in the afterword as a "fictional verse memoir [...in] first person poems titled after her songs," Becoming Billie Holiday is a beautiful book of poetry that collectively tells of Holiday's tragic young life. The text ends a little abruptly, and I wish it gone further into her life into adulthood. Side note - Best read with Billie's tracks playing in the background. ;)
