I don't flatter myself to be a judge of poetry. I merely know when it resonates and when it does not. This poetry did. It took me awhile as I like to take my time to absorb poetry and because of the heavy themes these poems deal with including police brutality, sexual violence, and HIV.

I didn’t get all the poems, but I want to. Brown shines a light on what’s it’s like to be black in America.
