Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman

3.0

informative medium-paced

I think this collection exists better as spoken word. I found it staunch and long winded. Sometimes the alliterations felt too much for the readers mind. While I respect the creativity in taking historical references and recreating them, it wasn’t what I was looking for and felt the book could have been edited down or better exist as two separate collections.
