Since we haven’t started studying a new novel yet, I thought I would share an exceptional poet that I had recently researched for another class. I am not the biggest fan of poetry, but Danez Smith’s poetry has exposed me to out of the box, passionate pieces of writing and I can’t stop reading it. Smiths' poetry is extremely powerful and political, yet personal. The titles used in Smiths' poetry are comedic, with comedy sprinkled throughout the work, but the poems themselves reflect a deeply serious topic. I highly recommend reading Danez Smith's poetry, especially the poem titled: Dinosaurs in the Hood.
Let me know if you end up reading it!
