American Smooth: Poems by Rita Dove

3.0

Sealey Challenge 2/31. Rita Dove is a really interesting writer - she draws really significantly on Black history and culture and renders it in a lush, colorful, tactile way which was a pleasure to read. There are some really incredible poems in this collection and some that weren't for me, which is fine. I'm glad I read it.
