4.0
3.5 Okay I want to give this a higher rating because of what the book is AND the fact that I did find some new favorite poems and some poets to read more from. I'm so happy to have an anthology of historical black poets since we're often forgotten.
But sadly I didn't connect with a lot of the poems overall even though I am grateful for the collection for the few poems that I loved. I hope we get more volumes in the near future!

While the style and language of the poetry was not always of the greatest interest to me, I think this collection does what it sets out to do, which is to reintroduce forgotten or overlooked Black poets of the past.
