Racism In The Deep South And The Perils Of Growing Up As A Young, Courageous Girl Comments

This poem says it all... and then some! Thank you for your courage.

This is simple yet powerfully affecting. The voice and rhythm are reminiscent of childhood and the carefree naivety of youth, and yet it sparks with profound wisdom, reminding us of the importance of seeing the world from another's point of view. Oh woe is racism, indeed!

The poet captures the rawness of racism in the Deep South brilliantly in just a few sparing words. What is remarkable about this work is not merely its unwavering confrontation of race relations, but its elegaic portrait of early girlhood and the voyage of self-actualisation that is coming-of-age.

Genius. So emotive, just.... a view into the mind of God itself. Thank creation for Elsinore RathbridgeStewart!
