For #recommendsday I'm going to shout out to Nate Marshall's outstanding poetry book, Wild Hundreds. The book takes its name from the neighborhood in the far South Side of Chicago where Nate is from. The streets are numbered on the south side and it's where the hundreds start. Chicago is in the media a lot for the violence here, and this collection speaks to being a young person in a lower income, sometimes dangerous city.
I hope you guys check out this slim little book of poetry. It's so good! 👏🏽
