| Loved that it was written accessibly without overly arcane wording. It was funny, it was insightful. I loved that the example poems weren't written by dead white men. The best poetry writing resource I've ever read. ...more | |

| I'm not a fan of poems that start with a "thesis statement" which a lot of these poems do. I think I would have enjoyed more if I were listening to the author read their own work. But overall, I enjoyed learning about the perspectives and experiences ...more | |

“I feel disconnected from the people who I know have not experienced the exposed nerves of a close loved one yanked by pliers from one's jaws. I am different from them now. They can’t know the festering wound staining my teeth red, can't know the taste of salt and iron in everything I eat.”

“I am a ghost town, my body still exists among the remnants and relics, but no one lives here anymore. The locals moved out with the post office. The shelves at the corner store stand as tombstones marking the prices of items
that once waited for hands to toss them in their basket. Spiders and the remains of their kills fill the fluorescent lights. The crows don’t even stop on the wires when they fly over.”

“I never thought I would feel lucky to have pain dripping from my pores, pain stuck to the pads of my fingers, to the bottoms of my feet, to have pain become the core of my identity in an instant, but here I am.”

“Its the same for every career and life decision. You just have to keep driving down the road. It's going to bend and curve, and you're going to speed up and slow down, but the road keeps going.”

“I was a curious boy, but the schools were not concerned in curiosity. They were concerned in compliance... 60% of all black men who drop out of school end up in jail. This should disgrace our country, but it does not.”

“I read about Queen Nzinga who ruled in Central Africa in the 16th century resisting the Portuguese. I read about her negotiating with the Dutch. When the Dutch Ambassador tried to humiliate her by refusing her a seat Nzinga had shown her power by ordering one of her advisers to all fours to make a human chair of her body. That was the kind of power I saw. and the story of our own royalty became for me a weapon.”
