A review by graecus_
Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine

challenging dark emotional reflective fast-paced

4.5

another mike gift rec and i have not been done dirty. i read this a little bit after i was supposed to (meant to be a companion read to invisible man, and i can definitely see why those books would be paired together). the entire book was artfully constructed, and the combination of poetry, prose-poetry, art, and images was outstanding. the way that it highlighted microagressions and the ways in which experiences of racism compound upon each other was incredibly done. would very much recommend this book.
