4.75

A collection of powerful words from resisters and organizers. The pages are so beautifully colorful, and I’m glad the book itself has pages big enough to fit in the details of the illustrations. The only challenge is that the font and how it’s arranged on the page is sometimes difficult to read.

emotional

4.5

I rated this fairly high because it is a gorgeous and thought-provoking anthology of illustrated poems, essays, and interviews.

Unfortunately, the handwritten font (as mentioned by many other users) means not every piece is actually legible. Still worth checking out if you are even slightly interested in the discussion around Q/T resistance.
