Counting Descent by Clint Smith

5.0

Clint Smith... man oh man. This book is exactly the kind of poetry that breaks your heart and puts it back together again in the same poem. It was such a roller coaster of the most beautiful images and the most devastating realities. I will never know what it’s like to be a black man in America, but Smith’s poems have taught me many things & will stay with me. Plus, the romance poems!
