Cassie Cox's Reviews > Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers

I love learning about the Civil Rights Movement, and this "love" led me to "Turn Me Loose." The stories held within the boundaries of these poems are powerful, unforgettable--the writing is, too. This is the 2nd books of poetry I've read this year, and it's the 2nd book of poetry that I've immediately shared with those around me, challenging them try out certain poetic strategies for themselves. Besides the story of Medgar Evers, this book touches on the monstrosity behind the murder of Emmett Till, another story about which I am passionate. So, if you enjoy learning about Civil Rights and Emmett Till and Medgar Evers and even Mississippi, this is a book for you. And if you don't know what you think about these subjects, this is a book for you.
