Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-21 00:00:00 Eduard Hiti I have probably read 5 or 6 thousand books in my life, and of all of them, this one stands out as my favorite. I was assigned this book for a literature class 20+ years ago in college and I haven't put it down since. I keep it with me like a lover, reading it over and over, and every time it makes me weep. It's intense and powerful and incredibly beautiful. Countee Cullen's works are my favorites, but I am hard pressed to make a decision. Different artists speak to me in different moods or circumstances. The authors seem vibrant, modern, alive in these pages. In my opinion, everyone would benefit from giving this book a read, but it's probably especially meaningful for poetry lovers or those with an interest in AA literature. It's a true gem and a standout among poetry collections.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-15 00:00:00 Fernando Sicco Read a *gorgeous* (through terrifyingly fragile) 1927 first edition from the library -- really enjoyed the poems, and Countee Cullen's approach.
