### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book
*by L***N on April 6, 2022*

My daughter had a black history project on Gwendolyn Brooks, and this book of poems were perfect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyed reading some of the best poems ever written. Took me places I’ve never been.
*by D***N on September 10, 2021*

Some of the poems were difficult to comprehend and may require a re-reading to understand their full meaning. But that is the brilliance of G. Brooks, putting you in places of the mind that one has never been. Won’t recommend for newbies!
