And have a reading Wednesday

Walking Back Up Depot Street: Poems by Minnie Bruce Pratt

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I was assigned to read this collection as an undergraduate, and I haven't looked at it since.

It is phenomenally good, probably the best volume of poetry I've read this year. All the poems are narrative and about the same character Beatrice who grows up in a segregated South and who is also a closeted lesbian. The poems deal with race (black, white, native American), gender, sexuality, labor, poverty.

Highly, highly recommend this one.
