Poemhood is a poetry anthology, full of history and folklore and the black experience. Gathered and afterworded by Amder McBride. I've been really enjoying poetry recently and this came highly recommended and I'm really glad I picked this one up. This is full of devastating experiences, brilliantly worded justified rage and the stark reminder that racism is a live and well.

I've said it before and I'll say it everytime, rating and reviweing poetry is hard, poetry is a form of art that is hard to describe.
