### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Simply Beautiful -- An Education in Voice and Poetic History
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 4, 2014*

These deceptively simple poems, from a young African-American girl trying to understand, and later, act upon, the world of America in the fifties and sixties, touched my heart. I love the poems, the pictures, the layout, and the depth under the simplicity. Well done, Marilyn Nelson! I heard the author read from the book at the Furious Flower Poetry Conference a week ago and made a little YouTube if other viewers want to see it. Just Google her name and mine, and it should show up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Accessible poetry!
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2014*

Accessible poetry.  Well written. Heard the author speak and ordered this book and a Wreath for Emmett Till as well.  i'm thinking that these will both be great resources for my middle school classroom this summer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Charming and evocative memoir in poems
  

*by I***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2014*

Marilyn Nelson's poems charmingly evoke her younger self, exploring the wonders of poetry while experiencing life as a girl before and during the Civil Rights era. Her masterful use of language shines through, even as she describes the plainest pleasures of life in maritime Maine, and her dawning realizations of American injustice, black culture, family life, and poetry as a transformative force.
