Good Dress by Brittany Rogers is first, and foremost, a love letter to Detroit, to Black women, to Black love, and to Black girlhood. The poems sear and fall apart like good, tender barbecue, leaving a trail of salty spicy sauces on your palate. The collection titillates, never shying away from uncomfortable topics and vulnerabilities. A pleasure to read and hold.
