This was a beautifully told memoir in verse. Jacqueline Woodson discusses what it was like to grow up in both the North and the South during the 60s and 70s and how being black influenced her experience. This book has ignited my interest for more narratives told through poetry.
I listened to the audiobook along with reading the physical copy and I really enjoyed hearing the way the author read her poetry while simultaneously seeing the way it was written - poetry is as much about the words on the page as how they’re written.
I wanted to read this for National Poetry Month but I was only able to start the book on the 30th of April and finish it today.
