This collection is incredible. It expresses honestly the deep grief and anger that accompany tragedy and injustice while acknowledging the persistence of hope and love. My favorite poems in this collection are “Variations on a Last Chance,” “To Be Self-Evident,” “On Translation,” “Letter to June Jordan in September,” “Tantoura Redux,” “Gloria,” and “Zaghareed.”
