I picked up this gem of a book to fulfill a Book Riot #ReadHarder challenge - published by a micropress. It is so much more than just a check mark on my challenge sheet.

The author is a young woman, strong and eloquent. Her medium is spoken word and poetry slam, which comes through strongly in her writing.

Often in a book of poetry there are highs and lows. This book was all highs, even though some topics are quite dark.

My favorites were Bobby Sands, Match and Flame, White Man, and Blackberry Picking. Well, actually, all of them. ( )
