Kevin Young is the poetry editor at The New Yorker & a heck of a poet .Caught my eye on a Library run .
His poems are the events of life , growing up in Kansas, Jazz ,baseball,dodgeball , and history “minus Malcom X,or Watts,barely a march on Washington...”
More contemporary, heartbreaking poems of Trayvon Martin,Sandra Bland,Tamir Rice,& Michael Brown.
This is the 1st collection of his I have read,I want more.
