Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As someone with an extremely fast reading speed, I usually race through novels and the like. Nayyirah Waheed's work stopped me. I devoured the first few poems, and then slowed. Then I stopped completely. I was sitting in my lawn, and I could feel my heartbeat thrumming through my veins as I read each poem slowly, savoring it. To be honest, I spent potential textbook money on this work, and regretted it the entire time I was waiting for the product to arrive. Then I held it and read it and fell in love with the words and this is probably the most worthy book I've purchased all semester. Planning to buy another copy for my favorite teacher later this year.
