Library book haul❤️🎉📚
Feeling heavy hearted this morning 💔 Finally saw the dash cam footage from the murder of Philando Castile and I am just feeling undone. In the mood to read this collection. 🕯
My personal winner of this book: Sterling Plumpp "I Hear the Shuffle of the People's Feet". This was the one that shook me. To my husband who is going to be out late tonight fighting for justice in our community: "freedom rings/ feel so good/ black out loud/ dancing in the streets/ with the fighting crowd"
pickCoffee is superfluous when I have this book of protest poetry to wake me up! So far I'm loving Reginald Harris "New Rules of the Road", Tyehimba Jess "Infernal", and Marilyn Nelson "Cells and Windows". Read this to be soothed and inspired! #readersunite #weneeddiversebooks
It's been five years. Trayvon Martin. 💔 #sayhisname #BlackLivesMatter
I have to assume this was published solely with me and my interests in mind. This book is specifically for me. You can read it too.
pickSome of America‘s most treasured poets write candidly, sometimes with sadness, about anti-blackness in their lives. This is a really solid collection of poetry that makes an important addition to the Black Lives Matter movement, one that celebrates art as a medium for change and healing. —Louise
I'll be spending some time with this today, I think.
