We Will Be Shelter: Poems for Survival by Jennifer Jackson Berry, Andrea Gibson, J.A. Carter-Winward
5.0
This was a really important book for me to read. Being obsessed with Andrea Gibson at the moment, she was the main reason I read it, but I got so much more from it than I expected. It left me with an even bigger passion to promote social justice & to learn more about problems in our society I haven't ever properly thought about.
The concept of connecting poetry to actual causes & organisations is brilliant, as are most of the poems themselves. Like with every compilation of poems, some speak to me more than others, but I felt like every single one of them was important to read.
I'm surely going to further research some of the writers & charities featured in this book, so even for that it is so worth reading.
