Monument: Poems New and Selected by Natasha Trethewey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trethewey's poems are accessible but still play with words and meanings. She has a particular talent of taking a picture or painting, describing it and transcending it through the lens of her own experiences and life. It is worth it to google the pictures she's describing (most are famous paintings, easily accessible). I truly enjoyed this survey of poems highlighted from previous works.
