Black Girl You Are Atlas by Renée Watson

5.0
This is a quick read, but that doesn't take away from the powerful nature of the poems in this YA poetry collection based on Renée Watson's own life. I listened to the audiobook through LibroFM, but I would be interested in seeing a final copy because there is also artwork included! I'll have to try to find it at the library when it officially comes out next week.
Watson reads the audiobook, and I always prefer hearing the author read their own poetry as to just reading the physical copy. I think it adds to the experience (at least for me) to hear how they incoporate pauses and other things in the words themselves.
Overall, an absolutely wonderful experience. If you like poetry, definitely pick up this book!
