I found this through an excerpt in Lerner’s The Hatred of Poetry. I appreciated its aesthetic and approach—its “mixed media” is engaging and reminds me how boundless literature can be, especially in the poetry world where I see these artistic liberties taken more often.
there are moments where Rankine’s prose didn’t grab me as much as I would’ve liked. the message is strong, but its existential language kept me at a distance
C+/B-
