The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks about Race by Jesmyn Ward

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short essays and poems. Each story flowed into the next and all the voices of the authors connected to send the message that we are far from a country where everyone is free. The fears, anxieties, and stories of black Americans need to be read by all. I'm a huge fan of Jesmyn Ward which is why this book in particular stood out to me and I was not disappointed. Everyone should read this!
