Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-30 00:00:00 Rastapitan Sdfdsf Moving collection of poems by superb American poet and writer Young. Many of the poems address the nation's continuing "contradictions of our 'Confederate' legacy and the troubled [national landscape] where that legacy still lingers." Published in 2007, these poems were powerful and poignant reading (I read this book twice) in 2020, the year of Black lives Matter, COVID-19, a divided election and so much more.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-04 00:00:00 Michael Murphy Ii The Nicodemus sections and the "Elegy for Miss Brooks" particularly shine in this collection by Kevin Young. Young's versatility and his ability to adjust style to subject matter is quite impressive and on display often alternating line length in relations to the content with more brutal poems taking shorter, more clipped lines. This is also highly elegiac, but Young maintains your interest. Good work.
