Poetry is not really my thing BUT Jones is such a great writer/poet that I’m still able to connect with these/understand them. There is a lot about grief and racism and it’s all well done. Notes in the back (love these!) help explain that connections/inspirations (and Cbus connections - not in positive ways).
