Poemhood: Our Black Revival: History, Folklore & the Black Experience: A Young Adult Poetry Anthology by Amber McBride, Erica Martin, Taylor Byas

4.5

Wow! It's been a while since I've read poetry I truly enjoyed. This collection is powerful, and complex, yet very accessible, as the structure of the book is great, and the "Outro" at the end of each poem gives you all the clarity you needed if there was any confusion. The copy I read was borrowed, but adding this to my list of books I NEED to purchase for my home library.

While I enjoyed the entire book these two poems really stuck out to me:
Vol. 1: Track 9: Like a Wildfire by Ashley Woodfolk
Vol. 4: Track 2: A Fable by Etheridge Knight
