a must read for the white, colored, alien, different, etc.
Shraya illuminates race for all. it's lyrical and articulate, and will leave educated from both the colored and white point of view.

Published in 2016 and very much a commentary on that time. I learned a lot that I had missed, even though I thought I had been paying attention back then.
Shraya also played with the placing of the stanzas on the page in a unique way. Often it added to a visceral sense of being marginalized.
Lastly there's a lot of vulnerability in this collection. I feel like I say that a lot about poetry, but Shraya takes it to another level. It's like the kind of discomfort that Palahnuik always wished he would evoke in readers.

Pointed, insightful, visceral.
A must read collection of poetry that face on addresses many layers of racism.
