lydiavsbooks's review against another edition

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

I'm not gonna rate this one, because I'm still too new to poetry to fully appreciate this one so my rating would be lower than it deserves.

There were some that I really enjoyed, and some that went a little over my head. These are a few of the former: thirteen, Schrodingers black, survivors guilt, concrete (3), and excerpts from journal entries 2017

a powerful collection of poetry, about growing up black and British. It talks about culture and police brutality, racism and death.

Poor is a good collection of poems. Some of my favourites include Barter, Ingredients & Properties of Concrete, Concrete (III), The Moon Gave no Name to Tides, and A Designer Talks of a Home / A Resident Talks of Home (II).

I felt the photos didn’t really add much.
