Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers

p.9 I hear all of my faith collapse/ on the wings of woman's scream.
p.15 He often confused hatred with desire.
p.33 Have you not seen what one drop of black/ paint will do to a gallon of white? (Ralph Ellison would be proud of the quote.
A diverse collection of poems. "One-Third of 180 Grams of Lead" is told from the perspective of the bullet which rips through Medgar. There is one poem in remembrance of Emmitt Till which is a combination of five separate Haiku's. The short poems converge to create an outstanding larger poem, an intriguing writing idea.
The voice of Medgar is largely absent from the poems, instead the author focuses upon the surrounding individuals.
