betweentheshelves 's review for:
The Unboxing of a Black Girl
by Angela Shanté
emotional
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
A powerful collection of poetry that I wish I would have listened to instead of reading the physical book. I imagine the spoken word poems are even more powerful that way, and that's just the way I generally prefer to read poetry collections.
This was a finalist for the National Book Award, which it is much deserving of that label. In addition to the fantastic poetry, there are a lot of resources included if you want to continue your learning journey. A book I highly recommend!
