When I read reviews about my poetry collection, I am always amazed and thankful. I had no idea my poetry would be used as a tool to help people.
Digging For Roots Book Review:
Kiana Davis has written a book of poems, Digging for Roots, that embodies the experiences of so many students and adults in this country. Kiana has laid herself bare in a series of poems about her struggles as a young Black woman developing identity. After reading the poems, I was so impressed with her transparency and the relevance of her words to the work I do with teachers and students that I immediately recommended the book to a principal who was beginning a book study. I believe Kiana’s book paints a very clear picture of the world in which students of color and students of poverty live and attempt to navigate systems that are not designed for them. I would recommend this book to adolescents, particularly young women of color and anyone who works with this population.
