The Sealey Challenge, Day Six: Magical Negro

 Magical Negro by Morgan Parker. by Stephanie Tobia | by Roberto ...


I'd heard Morgan Parker interviewed on Commonplace, and I think because of that, I felt like I could hear her voice especially clearly in these poems. A very smart voice with a unique way of using language, but most importantly, so bold and clear and passionate. I wish I hadn't had to read this in one day for the challenge. It would be better savored, a little at a time - and I hope to do that with this book, after the challenge is over.
