There's also themes of racism, bigotry, etc. There are also the related slurs.
The nature poems are so fresh! I love the completely new to me imagery for nature.
The poverty poems are also completely relatable.
I'm not a huge fan of poems that jump all over the place like a lot of modern literary poetry does, but each poem is usually about some topic and mostly continues the same conversation. There's still a little bit of chaotic unrelated subject changes but very little.

Revisiting "fall poem" on this Sunday October evening is the best way to cap off this collection. I'm already looked forward to the next thing I read by Smith. 5 stars.
