The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks by Gwendolyn Brooks
5.0
Let me start with the fact that I am not a poetry reviewer. My criteria is simply that I feel a poem.
Gwendolyn Brooks makes you feel every poem. You get a rhythm. You somehow hear the lilt of her voice just from the words on the page. You see the irony. The details take you there. Her poems paint a picture, evoke strong emotions, and no word is wasted. Her poems are as important a part of history as any history book.
