Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine

challenging tense slow-paced

How do you review a book that sheds light on racism? How do you express that you enjoyed said book without it coming across as taking delight in the suffering someone else experienced? How do you review a book of free verse poetry when free verse means there aren’t really any rules? As I reflected on Citizen: An American Lyric, these were questions I deeply grappled with.
