#magicalnegro

Today’s poem is a little sweary, if you worry about that sort of thing. From Morgan Parker’s collection MAGICAL NEGRO, which I found “good” the first time I read it. But thankfully I bought a copy rather than checking it out at the library, because I have picked it up a few times since then, and every time I flip through it I love it more and more. I need to go back to goodreads and up my rating to five stars. . . #magicalnegro #morganparker #poetry #apoemaday #nationalpoetrymonth #tinhousebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QQ133g0sT/?igshid=1h42oqal273rm

My first read for #blacklitchallenge this month, though it doesn’t really fit any of the special prompts for me. I am almost always resolving to read more poetry, and this book has been on my radar for a little while. I fell in love with this right away. Two of my favorite poems were right in the beginning of this collection: “Magical Negro #217: Diana Ross Finishing a Rib in Alabama, 1990s” and “Nancy Meyers and My Dream of Whiteness.” I am so glad I bought this instead of checking it out from the library, because I can see myself taking this down from the shelf over and over again. . . #magicalnegro #morganparker #poetry #tinhousebooks #blackpoetry #blackhistorymonth #minibookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MO-dcAV3z/?igshid=1u12nvhe9rtuk

there, I fixed it 

I think we have a winner here. But how about in a surprise twist at the end once the bully wins she's celebrating in Whistler and then out of nowhere she get swallowed up by a huge avalanche never to bee seen or heard from  again..... 

what was this show!?!
