Still really enjoying these poems. Might start skimming the analyses though.

I am chipping away at this much more slowly than I'd like. I'm enjoying the poetry, but not so much the author's analyses. Not because they aren't good, they are. He makes a lot of great points and offers a lot of context. But... I don't know. Maybe I don't want to think this much about poetry. Maybe I want to feel it? More than think about it?

Ohhhh the Natasha Trethewey poem! "Miscegenation". I've read it before and had forgotten who wrote it, but gods is it good. Such powerful images and references that has stuck with me for years. I'm so glad I could discover it again, here.
