➵ nuanced stanzas drenched in political, social, and historical commentary through words resonating the author's boyhood as a Black American. from family and home to race and heart, this collection dives into the humanity and complexity of an identity boxed by stereotypes, constant individually challenged, and systematically oppressed. the raw honesty of these poems left me empathetic.
