A review by ombudsman
Black Movie by Danez Smith

4.0

a chapbook which ransacks culture, the cultural products of both white and black america, equally critical of both. more than anything though, smith directs their attention towards police brutality, producing some of the most heartbreaking and agonising verse known to man. the tone is angry, of course, but also proud of african-american history, culture and perseverance and - at times - perhaps even hopeful. short, but immensely long-lived effects.
