While this collection is not written specifically for a young adult audience, there are so many poems in this collection that resonate with me and with the young people that I teach. The words that don't exist in English yet offer opportunities for discussion and also for activities that encourage students to reflect on, recognize, and push their own creativity with language and vocabulary. The examples of poetry by erasure, especially the NRA message, are great mentor texts for writers. I really enjoyed so much about this collection of poems and I highly recommend picking it up to enjoy for yourself, as you will get something new each time you visit the collection. Additionally, there are so many great ways to incorporate these poems if you happen to be a language arts or writing teacher, so I recommend keeping another copy in your teaching space!… (altro)

I'm not really into poetry but this was amazing! I don't have enough words to describe how beautiful it was.

A poetry collection about love, heartbreak, discovery, race, racism, and anger. I don't read poetry. To love poetry you must love the language, I merely like the language. I don't know if these are artful, profound, or even good. I can't properly evaluate these poems. I am a poor judge of poetry. But I liked these poems, that read more like statements than poems. More like open thoughts than conclusions. A collection I could get behind.

I’ll Fly Away

I Picked Up This Book Because: I’ve enjoyed the author’s past work.

Media Type: Digital Book
Source: Scribd
Dates Read: 1/22/21 - 1/25/21
Stars: 5

Wonderful and powerful words. Very thought provoking I could recommend this for everyone but especially young black men.

Throughout this book the author gives us words that do not exist in the English language and their definitions. This is followed by a poem(s) that relate to that word. It’s a clever concept. There are several words I should memorize and use.

MostofwhatIknow was particularly powerful for me.
