Wonderful collection of poetry.
My favorite poems are ‘Turning’ which is about a child who ties a string to a June Bug leg, ‘They all Sang’ which shows various songs and mixes child’s rhymes (for example, Little Sally and London Bridge) within the poems and ’How We Lie in Grass’ from which comes the book’s title.

Some of the poems in this collection really resonate. The collection falls under the categories of feminist and African American literature. This is an area I usually don't seek out, but it was refreshing reading something outside of what I normally do.

Check it out, it's worth the time.
