Black Movie by Danez Smith

challenging emotional reflective fast-paced

5.0

This being my third poetry collection by this poet, I think I can truthfully say that I believe Danez Smith to be one of the greatest poets of all time. His works are sharp, emotionally impactful, and heavily intersectional. Mastering both long form and short form poetry, the poems in this book are both a painful reminder of the realities of being Black in White America and also a celebration of all the joyous shades of Blackness. Smith is has easily become an auto buy author for me and I'm greatly looking forward to his newest poetry book coming out this year (2024).
