Monument: Poems New and Selected by Natasha Trethewey

challenging dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

 Trethewey brilliantly shares the anguish of reemergence from generational racism, loss, and violence. The collection isn’t all like this, but the poems I will remember most, like “Pilgrimage”, will be carried, not kept.

If wanting a sample of Trethewey's work, find: "Enlightenment", "Illumination", and "What the Body Can Say".
