"She meant jail.
& we was powerless to stop it
& too damn tired to be beautiful"
The frustration and exhaustion is palpable throughout these poems. My favorites were "While I think of Tamir Rice while driving" and "For a Bail Denied (For A.S.)"

I’m not much of a poetry reader, so I’ve rated this somewhat based on the accessibility of it for me. To my untrained eye, the writing was excellent.

Such a poignantly beautiful critique on the oppression within the criminal justice system and the criminalization of poverty and blackness.

Disclaimer: I am not super into poetry in general. However this is an extremely powerful collection, and there is so much within each poem that left me wanting to have a longer conversation with the poet.

Challenging poems that speak volumes, but the redacted poems... wow. Brilliant.
