A short summary of the book Salt:
Poetry, to the point.
My favorite Nayyirah Waheed poem from the book:
"
where
you are,
is not
who
you are.
-circumstances
"
Questions I pondered while reading the poems:
How deep is brevity?
Do you have to be long-winded to be empowered?
My review of the book Salt:
In the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. there is a drink, The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, said to feel like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick.
Nayyirah Waheed's poems are like that drink.
It's a great sensation. Try it and see.
