A Wreath for Emmett Till by Marilyn Nelson
5.0
challenging dark emotional slow-paced

So moving and a punch to the gut. This wreath of sonnets for Emmett Till is so beautifully crafted and done with such care. It doesn't shy away from the gruesomeness of his lynching. The images that accompany the poems are also really impactful. I love the information at the back of the book that explains references made in the sonnets. It makes the book even more accessible. This is a must read.
