A review by stitchykitch
Garvey in the Dark by Nikki Grimes

5.0

The tears were FLOWING, not that it was sad per say but it brought back a lot of the feelings we all had in the early days of the pandemic, as well as the rage and helpless feeling of witnessing Breonna Taylor and George Floyd losing their lives at the hand of the police.

This was beautiful poetry. I didn’t recognize the tanka form until I read about it in the afterward.
