2.0

the introduction was quite interesting and engaging, but i did not like the form or structure of the poems. this is the first book that i’ve read by bell hooks, but as a poet, her style is not something that i particularly enjoy. the theme of the work is something that i think could have been written about in essays, but i understand why she used poetry to share her thoughts. i most likely will not be reading more poetry written by bell hooks, but i will read her essays and nonfiction works.

This collection of poetry about nature, Appalachia, and the reverence is so soothing to read once you get the cadence down. bell hooks is an incredible writer and her feminism, intersectional. 

The poetry was a great switch up.
