Don't Call Us Dead: Poems by Danez Smith
5.0
challenging dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced

My fucking god. This is why I read poetry. For the moments I can read something like this that is so raw, so beautiful, so specific in its messaging and prose but something so universal in the feelings one can ascribe to it. There is something perfect about finding a poetry book this good. I would recommend to everyone.
