The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
5.0
This is beautiful, and powerful, and awe-inspiring.
When I first opened the book, I was not prepared for the entire thing to be written in free verse. I cringed. I thought I was going to hate it, and prepared myself to give up after a few pages.
The opposite happened. I could not put this down, not for an instant. I am speechless...there is nothing I can say about this book that would do it justice, so I'm just going to say, you should absolutely read this book, immediately.
And meanwhile, I'm going to go write down about 100 quotes I want to plaster over my walls and in my notebooks.
