4.5
adventurous hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

This book was everything I though it would be and more. 

I picked up this poetry book at a local used book store in the classic poetry section. 
I bought this without reading much about it beyond seeing that is was a classic book written by a Black women poet and I'm happy I did. 

Not every poem resonated with me, in fact, I did not like the poems in part one at all, I think the style was not for me. However the remainder of the book was amazing. I really enjoyed the character growth that is shown throughout the book, reads like a memoir in verse. 

10/10 would recommend.
