A review by historyoftape
Black Movie by Danez Smith

challenging emotional reflective fast-paced

4.75

Each poem was a punch, carrying grief, joy, despair, anger, and hopefulness. As soon as I was done I re-read the entire chapbook again. Danez uses literary devices and figurative language as weapons, not only as a footsoldier, but as a master. The emotional impact this had on me can't be overstated.
