This was another required text for intro to poetry but I enjoyed this a tad more than [b:Citizen: An American Lyric|20613761|Citizen An American Lyric|Claudia Rankine|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1420944502l/20613761._SX50_.jpg|39895091]. This was shorter in general and the poems mixed history: from documentaries, books, and personal experiences into her poems. She was fairly forward so I understood most of the book, and it was interesting reading about history I was completely unaware of (which is no surprise unfortunately). It was enjoyable, I just don't think it was enough for me to decide to keep it in my personal library. Overall, I'm glad I got to experience it and hear a new point of view.
