A review by laurelinwonder
American Dreams by Sapphire

5.0

This is a collection of poems, stories, and performance pieces that deal with a huge range of emotions. It is at once about trauma, incest, rape, and sex work, but also recovery. Sapphire has a voice you cannot ignore, it's authentic, and cracks open sentences and parses in a way that means we the reads cannot look away. Just powerful.
