Starred Review "To All Those Who Have Died Because of the Color of Their Skin" is the dedication to this large and magnetizing poetry anthology inspired by today's "new iteration" of the civil rights movement coalesced in protest against police killings of African American boys and men. Warr, himself a poet, explains in his introduction that this is an "unapologetically political" collection showcasing more than 40 living African American poets of "black diversity and creative individualism," from Elizabeth Alexander ("Narrative: Ali, a poem in twelve rounds") to Al Young ("Blues for Malcolm X"), engaged in "the transformative work of truth-telling." Each poet is present in black-and-white photographs by Victoria Smith, a reverberating poet's statement, and his or her poem appearing on page spreads so expansive readers can fall headlong into these haunting works of love, family, community, hate, fear, violence, sorrow, outrage, and determination. This exceptional and powerful gathering includes Rita Dove, Cornelius Eady, Nikky Finney, Terrance Hayes, Angela Jackson, Tyehimba Jess, Yusef Komunyakaa, Quraysh Ali Lansana, Haki Madhubuti, Patricia Smith, Natasha Trethewey, and devorah major, who writes, "i'm not going to carry banners of defeat / and wear shackles of resignation / i say i want to give thanks for community / that is birthing new freedoms / not burying fresh kill."
