Can I Kick It? by Idris Goodwin

Idris Goodwin's Can I Kick It? covers such vast territory, so well, as to be difficult to review. From Christopher Columbus' violence to contemporary cell phone videos of white supremacist violence, and from the pulsing beats of Motown and hip-hop to the perfect three-pointers and the thrilling dunks, Goodwin carries us through history and politics in a joyful, sad collection of poems that speak to our realty now just as surely as they did when published in 2019.
