The poems were full of some gut-punching phrases and vivid imagery. A fantastic addition to the pocket change collective.

pucksandpaperbacks's review
Really enjoyed this work poetry and the comparison of Black boys as butterflies. This does mention shootings and death and the trauma that comes with that in graphic detail. There are a lot of stanzas I really enjoyed and overall, I thought this was a great, short poetry collection that packed a punch. Concrete Kids is about being a Black woman in America from the perspective of someone who was in foster care. I'm really glad I decided to pick this one up.
