Garvey in the Dark by Nikki Grimes

3.0

Beautiful, sparse tanka poetry again, but the pandemic plot feels less compelling than the first story. Even though readers likely all lived through some type of covid experience, it's less relatable, more of a checking off of events. The poems taken individually are lovely, emotional, with much to unpack, so maybe a slower analysis in a student book club will make a more meaningful, enjoyable read.
