Status Updates From Brown Girl Dreaming

I've learned not to get too ahead of myself, but already, reading this fluid but stark poetry puts a taut feeling in my chest.

"Everyone always thought they were twins so thats what they said they were," (Woodson 151)
The reason I chose this quote was because after Aunt Kay died (Jacqueline's mom's sister) from falling down the stairs, Jacqueline's mom was so sad and told her kids some stories about Kay and thier childhood together.
