Diary of a Young Black Girl -Book Review Alert-

This is a book of poetry. As defined, poetry is ​literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm. I will be honest, poetry for me is either relatable or not depending upon the topic. My top 4 pieces in Diary of a Young Black were; Why, Courage, Warriors of Knowledge and Apple Of My Eye. 

​Reading work from a fellow black author is enlightening because it gives the reader a glimpse of the writers thoughts, experiences or  encounters  that  may not be their own but possibly a circumstance belonging to someone dear to them. 

​Would I suggest this read to the next? I most certainly would. The author, Lora has more work on the way and I plan on following her  journey as a published writer.
