Our smallest panel in a long time discusses The Poet X (a National Book Award Long List nominee at the time of our recording; best of luck Elizabeth Acevedo).
Nathan suggests Burn Baby Burn by Meg Medina and I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika Sánchez.
Nate suggests Yaqui Delgado Wants To Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina and Piecing Me Together by Renee Watson.
Lindsey suggests Gabi, A Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero
Cash Money suggests the show Insecure.

ReplyDeleteI would suggest "Long Way Down" by Jason Reynolds, especially because Elizabeth Acevedo absolutely SLAYS the narration. There's something really powerful about hearing a poet read their own work.
