I'm walking the poetry path solo this week! But fear not, I always have much to say!

Let's talk about Amiri Baraka's "Dope" poem. This poem is great. The wisdom, the pace, the black pain. This poem pushes the truths about racism, politics, self-hating blacks, and the racial wealth gap into your face. Let's break the poem down and see what we find?

Also, we need to discuss Chef Lovely's Tik Tok's. They are poetry in motion! Let's talk about it!
