Poet X for Harry Ainlay

Our vote goes to Poet X. Our post-reading discussions about this round, we found that this text made poetry accessible to our readers. The relationships explored were positive, but not perfect. Just as is in real life, the loose ends weren't tied up neatly, however, there is clear and reflective strength and growth evidenced. The young female empowerment and how girls experience oppression in patriarchal culture resonated with our group at Harry Ainlay.
