Citizen: An American Lyric

I'm embarrassed to say this had been on my Kindle for years. I just now sat down and read it. I think I thought is was going to be unapproachable, or that I was going to have to take notes or something as if I were attending a profound lecture.
Instead, I found myself in a state of awe and I recognized that the words being said in Citizen are real and raw and I had to let go and just experience it.
The stories are impactful but I leave this work with the deep thoughts about who is invisible in this country and who is seen. There is a lot to think about in this little book.
