loppear reviewed Ain't Burned All the Bright by Jason Reynolds
something else, something remembered and lived
3 stars
A moving poem about the summer of 2020 and all the pain and loss and breathing that raises up, with iterative raw illustrations, some of which evoke so much in a ragged shadow or stroke when paired with a phrase or lone word. Would have made a stunning museum installation, I'm not entirely sure how well it works as a 15-minute 300 page hardback.
