Don't Call Us Dead by Danez Smith

5.0

(4.5) This collection left me speechless in the best ways. As someone with a mixed background I could definitely understand their point of view. I’m not biologically male or dark skinned so of course it’s different for me and the way Smith constructed their words was magical. My favorite poem was “every day is a funeral & a miracle”. Honestly, poetry is a hit and miss these days—this was a hit.

There were a few poems/parts of poems that didn’t really click for me so that’s why it’s not a full 5 starts but I did truly enjoy reading this collection.
