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.
Minor: Rape, Violence, Death, and Police brutality

Holy shit this was amazing. I read it all in one sitting because I just couldn't stop reading. So many lines made me just sort of sit there staring at nothing, like, they were just stunning. I definitely want to read more of Brown's work.
