Reviews

"Deonte Osayande's voice is one that needs to be heard-right now. Class helps us to explore questions of class, race, and the painful history that is never over but is relived daily. The poems have a wonderful no-bullshit quality that invite us to return to them again and again." - Kenneth Pobo, LopLop in a Red City, winner of the 2014 Blue Light Press Book Award
