Dark Testament and Other Poems by Pauli Murray

5.0

This book of poetry is captivating. Firstly it is very accessible and you do not have to be a master poet to understand her broader themes (though there is still a lot of subtexts, its poetry after all). Secondly she writes about so much there are themes of love, hate, slavery, race riots, politics, and probably more that I'm missing from the top of my head. I'm very picky about my poetry and this is a 10/10 if I've ever read one.
