Lisa Livesay's Reviews > Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers

This is a very powerful book. It's incredible how he could imagine Byron and Willie de la Beckwith’s perspectives, their hatred and fear. My favorite poems were the ones speaking to the strength of Myrlie and other members of the Evers family ("Evers Family Recipe" stands out). This book reads like a soundtrack of civil rights, honoring those whose lives were horrifically taken too soon (Medgar Evers, Emmett Till, James Craig Anderson).
